Hygrometrical Results deduced from Dry and Wet 

 Bulb Thermometers, read daily at 1 p.m. throughout 



THE YEAR 1875. 



(Extracted from the Quarterly Journal of the 

 Meteorological Society.) 



The lowest relative humidity noticed was at noon, on 26th 

 November 1875, namely : — 



Air. Evaporation. Dew Point. Vapour Tension. Humidity. 



° In. 



89-2 72-0 61-2 -541 39 



This occurred at a very dry period, the dry season having 

 been very much extended. During the three weeks previous 

 only 0*24 inch of rain had fallen, and strong, at times boisterous 

 southerly winds had prevailed almost without cessation, and 

 with, in general, a clear sky. This low amount of relative 

 humidity may be described as very exceptional in Fiji.
