 An Abridged View of the Winds at London, for one Year, beginning with March 1775. 



It appears that the winds from the s. w. were again the most frequent of any, 

 and next to these the winds from the n. e. Of the winds from the 4 cardinal 

 points, the n. was the most frequent, and the e. the most rare. The autumn 

 was the wettest quarter, and the spring the driest. The rain of the 3 summer 

 months was almost half as much again as that of the 3 winter months ; but the 

 rain of the winter half-year exceeded that of the summer half-year by about ^
