J. Eliot — The South-West Monsoon Storms 



[No. 2, 



The barometer was lowest at Indore. The barometric heights and 

 wind directions, when charted, indicate that the centre of the depression 

 was at noon very near Indore and to the east of it, and hence in 

 Lat. 22 '1° N. and Long. 76° E. Strong winds and very heavy rain 

 characterized the western and southern quadrants. In the northern 

 quadrant, winds were much more moderate, and rain fell only near the 

 centre of the depression. 



The following are the 4 p. m. observations, which enable the position 

 of the depression and its centre to be determined at that hour : —

Allowing for the amount of the diurnal oscillation between 10 A. m. 

 and 4 p. m., it will be seen that the barometer had fallen during the pre- 

 ceding six hours at Neemuch, Ajmere, and Deesa, whilst it had risen rapidly 

 in the Central Provinces. The centre was between Neemuch and Deesa, 

 where the barometric heights were practically the same, and winds were 

 in opposite directions. It was approximately in Lat. 23° 30' N. and 

 Long. 74° 30' E.
