In the spring, the N.E. and S.W. predominate, and are 

 nearly equal : the N.E. wind blows upon more days this 

 quarter than any other. 



In the summer quarter the S.W. wind prevails, and next 

 comes the N.W. which has a greater prevalence this quarter 

 than in any of the other quarters. 



In the autumn the S.W. is the prevailing wind, next 

 comes W., N.E., and N.W., which are nearly equal : the 

 N.W. wind is at its minimum amount in this quarter. 



When the winds are referred to the the four principal 

 points only, we find the very marked prevalence of S. winds 

 in winter : this wind occurring to a much greater extent in 

 winter than in any other season. The E. winds of spring 

 become also very prominent when the above method is 

 adopted. With summer comes the great excess of W. winds, 

 and diminution of E. winds. Autumn brings an increase 

 of N. and E. winds, and a falling off of W. and S. winds.
