WEATHER-REPOUT 



FOR THE 



PERIOD COVERED BY THE SPRING-IMMiaRATION OF 1912. 



Thpj weather-reports are abstracted from the weekly returns 

 of the Meteorological Office, and include the conditions 

 prevailing between 



Parallels of Latitude 40° N. and 60° N. 

 Longitude 10° E. and 10° W. 



Special attention has been paid to the conditions observed 

 over the north coast of Spain, the Bay of Biscay, the coast 

 o£ France bounding the Bay, the English Channel, and our 

 southern shores. 



Opposite the date will be found a record of the height 

 of the barometer, the direction and force of the wind, the 

 temperature and weather-conditions prevailing at 7.0 a.m. 

 on each day at Portland Bill. 



The weather-conditions will be much more readily under- 

 stood if the meteorological maps are themselves consulted. 



Summary of the Weather- Conditions. 



March. — On the whole the weather was wild, wet, and stormy through- 

 out the month, but it was exceptionally mild, owing to a 

 preponderance of south-westerly winds. Fog was less 

 prevalent than usual, but there was a good deal along the 

 coasts on the 11th, 12th, and 14th, and also on the 24th 

 and 25th. 



April. — Weather beautiful, but with a good deal of fog along the north 

 coast of Spain. 



May. — The weather was less fine and bright than in April, but the 

 conditions were anticyclonic, with few gales.
