J. Eliot — The South-West Monsoon Storms 



[No. 2, 



In Upper India, skies were more or less clouded in the area of the 

 small depression, and rain fell during the day over nearly the whole of 

 the Punjab, and the western districts of the North Western Provinces. In 

 Bengal, the Central Provinces, Bombay, and Madras, skies were generally 

 clear, weather fine, and winds light. Skies were overcast in Southern 

 Burmah, and rain was generally falling. 



Over the west coast of the Bay, pressure was remarkably uniform, 

 the isobar of 29*95 being, in fact, almost identical with the coast line. 

 The winds on the Coromandel coast were stronger than they were on the 

 previous day, but were below their normal force. This is shown by the 

 following statement : —
