Osmanlıca Basında Sunulan Hava Durumu
Weather Forecast Presented in Ottoman Press

Summary/Abstract: The observatory that founded by Aristide Coumbary in 1868 in Istanbul, operated until the end of the First World War. The observatory that equipped with imported equipment from Europe, has shared information with stations in Ottoman Empire and observatories in Europe countries through telegraph lines. Thus, the measurements made by the stations were evaluated together with the data from observations in Europe and weather forecast reports were issued. Obtained meteorological reports have been tried to be publicized daily through telegrams and newspapers. The possibilities of the process are limited and therefore, sufficient success has not been achieved. The observatory has arranged the data obtained as daily, monthly and annual tables to start from 1868.The data has been shared with the press for the benefit of the people. It can not be said that weather forecasts are published regularly due to reasons such as the interruption of observatory work for various reasons, the partial destruction of the observatory's material during the March 31 Incident and the variable interest of the newspapers.
