Meteorological Notes and Remarks upon the Weather 

 during" the Year 1905, with its General Effects 

 upon Vegetation. 



By James Whitton, Superintendent of Parks, Glasgow. 



[Read 30th October, 1906.] 



In order to preserve the continuity of the series, these notes have 

 been compiled, as in former years, from the records kept at 

 Queen's Park, Glasgow. 



January. — The genial, mild weather which ushered in the 

 new year continued during the week. From the 4th to the 16th 

 the weather was stormy and unsettled, with frequent heavy 

 showers of rain and sleet, accompanied by cold, high winds. 

 Thereafter, until the end of the month, it was drier and more 

 bracing, though the afternoon of the 30th was wet and stormy. 



The atmospheric pressure was wide in range and erratic in 

 course. On the 1st the barometer indicated 30-30 inches, then a 

 steady fall to 29*15 inches on the 6th occurred, when a gale with 

 heavy shoWers was experienced. For a week thereafter the 

 pressure was higher but very irregular, then another sharp fall 

 from 30-10 on the 13th to 28'70 inches on the 17th was noted.
