On the 19th and 20th there was a remarkably sultry wind from the E. 

 and S. E., though the winds from these quarters are usually very cold. A 

 similar circumstance took place on the 27th of last month. Though there 

 have been many days on which we have had rain, yet no great quantity 

 has fallen during the month ; indeed less than usual in this month. The 

 evaporation has been generally so slow, as to keep the ground in a very 

 humid state. The barometer has mostly been very low. The thermome- 

 ter has not been so low as the freezing point during the month, nor since 

 the 26 th April has it been below that point, in a period of more than six 

 months. This circumstance shows the extraordinary mildness of the 

 season.

This month is, from the nature of evaporation, generally productive of 

 fogs than any other in the year. They have prevailed through most of 

 the month, and have been unusually thick. The quantity of rain is very 

 trifling indeed, and forms a striking contrast to what fell in this month in 

 1825, which was upwards of 13 inches. The barometer has been very 

 variable the latter part of the month. The thermometer fell below the 

 freezing point on the 21st, a depression which had not been observed for 

 upwards of six mjonths. There were a few days of clear frosty weather, 

 from the 20th to the 27th, the rest of the month generally mild.
