lVif?d. — The winds which blow with the greatest frequency are 

 south-westerly, which are recorded on 75 days in the year, next 

 come the westerly on 61 days and north-westerly on 45 days ; 

 easterly winds only occur on 23 days in the year. 



Strong winds or gales blow on 14 days per annum, whilst 



nearly double that number or 27 days are entered as calms. 



As may be expected, the former are most frequent in February, 



March, and October, and the latter in September, June, and 



August.
