Meteorological Report for the year 1828. 



73 



REMARKS. 



1. Northerly winds have been more prevalent than south- 

 erly, in the ratio of about 60 to 40. In 1827, the ratio was 

 nearly that of 70 to 30, shewing an increase of southerly 

 winds during the past year of 10 per cent. From May to 

 August, inclusive, southerly winds predominated. 



2. In certain parts of the year, the winds have been unu- 

 sually variable. During the month of July, the wind re- 

 mained stationary scarcely half a day at a time. 



3. Whenever the wind has proceeded directly from the 

 east for a few hours together, it has been accompanied, or 

 immediately followed, by fogs, clouds and rain. Northwest 

 winds, have, as usual, generally brought us fair weather; and 

 when snow storms have occurred, as several have done, with 

 the wind at northwest, they have, invariably, been of short 

 continuance.
