Abstract
ONE of the most interesting problems of meteorology is the relation between sunspots and terrestrial weather. In most parts of the world, including the British Isles, the relation is too complex to be readily demonstrable, and the number of unknown factors too great for it to be of use in forecasting, but in a few areas, for one reason or another, the control by sunspots becomes dominant. Mr. Inigo Jones, Director of the Bureau of Seasonal Forecasting in Queensland, believes that Australia is one of these areas under solar control, and in a recent presidential address to the Queensland Astronomical Society* he quotes a number of examples.
