Our Understanding of History

Weather affects every aspect of daily living. A storm in 1588 saved England from attack by destroying the entire Spanish Armada. The French Revolution probably would not have happened in 1789 had it not been for harsh weather that froze water reserves and caused a drought in the same year. The Russian winter, during both the Napoleonic and Nazi invasions, defeated invading armies.

Historical weather information can deepen our understanding of history and provide insights as to what our future may hold.
