Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

Aristotle: The Father of Meteorology

This past friday, I presented on Aristotle and his contributions to the Meteorology field. What Ive presented is that Aristotle while being a philosopher and a polymath, wrote a Book named De Meteoris, and this was the introduction to the sub-science we now call Meteorology. Although the use of the word has been narrowed down to the weather, Aristotle wrote about what he observed in the earth, and his theories about it. Some of the things that he observed were Water Vapor, the water cycle, tornadoes, lighting, and the original four elements (earth, fire, wind, air). For all of these things he has been regarded as the Creator of Meteorology.
