Average. 
Remarks.—The mean height of the barometer during the pre- 
sent year was greatest in the month of March (though in this 
part of the country that is usually the case in January), and least 
in December. ‘The mean temperature exceeds that of 1824 
merely by half a degree. During the summer months the. 
heat greatly exceeded that of last year; but towards the be- 
ginning and end of this, the weather has been more severe, 
which has tended nearly to equalize the annual means of 1824 
and 1825. ; 
The quantity of rain has fallen short of the last three years 
by nearly three inches, though it is still above the average for 
Kendal. In July, which is generally a wet month, there fell 
only *701 inch, and in November and December 14030 inches. 
In these two months of 1824, 26°640 inches were taken, which 
is an unusually large quantity. The number of wet days in 
the present has fallen short of those in the last year, being 
169; but in 1824 there were 187. 
For eight months the prevalent wind was SW., which ma 
be concluded, from preceding observations, to be decidedly the 
prevalent wind of Kendal, S. M.
