Climate of Seringapatam. 



139 



The prevailing winds are the north-east and south-west, or the 

 general monsoons of the Indian Ocean. The south-west sets in during 

 the month of April. When it commences, its reciprocation with the 

 north-east wind interrupts the serenity of the weather ; and during its 

 continuance, thunder storms occur almost every day, with heat-lightning 

 at night. This is the rainy season, but the monsoon having deposited ita 

 superabundant moisture upon the ghats, very little rain falls at Seringa- 

 patam. During the north-east monsoon, which begins about the end of 

 October, the weather is settled and fine, with heavy dews before sunrise.
