With The Weather Book, Robert Fitzroy created an introduction to meteorology for the everyday Victorian citizen based on up-to-date scientific methodology. Luke Howard’s classification of clouds is included to help readers identify the types of clouds they can observe. The book was part of Fitzroy’s efforts to disseminate new scientific methods to study the weather. He made the weather forecast a daily addition to the newspapers and supported the establishment of what would later become the Meteorological Office.
