prize1-1, Exercise 2: Record, folklore or memory Model answer: (a) Record. A pressure reading from a weather station is a measured value that can be checked against observing records. (b) Folklore. The saying has some basis, since weather systems in mid-latitudes usually move from the west and a red sunset can mean clear air to the west, but it is not a forecast and often fails. (c) Memory. Your recollection is good for mood and unreliable for the date and the temperature; remembered heat is nearly always greater than the records say.
