General Remarks on the Weather, &c. ob- 
served at Carlisle during the year 1825. 
January.—The average temperature of 
‘this month, 39°, was unusually high fer the 
season ; the weather was generally moist 
and gloomy, and at times extremely stormy: 
on the three first days of the month, and 
and also on the 18th, the wind from the W. 
blew most violent hurricanes, with hail, rain, 
and sleet; some short intervals of moderate 
frost occurred, and snow was sometimes 
observed on the mountains. 
February.— The first week was extreme- 
ly variable ; on the second the thermome- 
ter was as high as SOF ; on the third a severe 
frost commenced, w hich continued till the 
seventh ; on the mornings of the 4th and 5th, 
the thermometer was 24° and 23° ; ; on tle 
former morning we had a heavy fall of snow, 
Which amounted to about six inches in 
‘depth; the weather afterwards, with some 
trifling exceptions of hoar-frost in the 
mornings, was unseasonably mild, and ge- 
erally fair and pleasant.

month,..we had light showers of hail and 
sleet, } with hoar-frost in the nights ; the 6th 
_was very, wet and stormy—the weather 
“afterwards | was chiefly fair, calm, and _bril- 
“fiant, particularly the latter half of the 
month, which was very droughty, with some 
trifling hoar-frost in the nights. During 
the-whole of this latter period, the baro- 
meter was generally upwards of five-tenths’

month. 
May.—Tn the former part of this month, 
we had some very heavy falls of hatl’and
