There have been some excellent answers as usual from this group,

It seems like the old cobbler isnt talking cobblers afterall. Mr
Stratheren's leather forcasting is as good as your weather forcasting.

thanks for your assistance.

Really though, unless the leather is of local origin it can have no
relation whatsoever to the weather, past, present, or future, in your
area.

I am not sure that makes any difference - I do not think that the
chemically
treated hide of a dead animal retains any links with the habitat of the
living animal.
What leather may do, regardless of its country of origin, is respond to
the
local humidity - much like Joe's seaweed (brings back some childhood
memories of seaweed hanging by the back door).

Has anyone ever done any studies btw ..... seaweed near to a weather
station
? Just a thought (:
