Table Y III.— Humidity. 



31 



The raia here indicated in the four months from February to May will not, it is 

 presumed, represent the average fall if a longer period was taken. It is probable, 

 however, that in Hull, as in most other places, the average fall of rain is the greatest 

 during the latter half of the year. 



The fall of rain during the twelve months from J^ily 1852 to June 1853, in 

 inches, was 25'84. 



The last table, being a synopsis of the meteorology of Hull, is sufficiently expla- 

 natory to need no further elucidation. 



The author, however, calls the attention of observers to the last column, ' Clear 

 Nights,' which is a register of those nights that were either apparently, or from 

 actual trial, found to be suitable for telescopic observation, and is therefore an 

 approximate indication of the astronomical climate of Hull. 



* From August to December inclusive. 



f From January not registered.
