Barometer : a broad belt of low pressure covering 

 the whole of our area. Temperature low. 

 Winds moderate from the south and south- 

 west, over the Iberian Peninsula, France, and 

 the Bay of Biscay, but very cold and from the 

 north over our Islands and the coasts of the 

 English Channel. Overcast generally, with rain 

 in the south of England and snow or hail in the 

 northern parts of our Islands. 



Barometer : a large steep depression with its 

 centre, 293 in., situated about the Straits of 

 Dover. Temperature very low, about 32° F. 

 or under, over our Islands, and only 37° F. 

 over the western part of Britanny ; about 

 48° F. at Corunna and 52° F. at Biarritz. 

 Strong winds circulating cyclonically round 

 the above-mentioned centre. Weather fine 

 over the north coast of Spain and Britanny and 

 along our southern shores, but with snow and 

 hail-storms elsewhere. 



The wintry conditions of the previous day cul- 

 minated in a heavy fall of snow, extending 

 southwards beyond the Isle of Wight. In the 

 morning strong northerly winds of wintry 

 severity swept over the whole of our area, but 

 during the day they became less severe and 

 moderate in force, having backed more to the 

 westward. 



Barometer : minimum 29-4 in. over East Anglia. 

 Temperature distinctly warmer, but still under 

 40° F. over nearly the whole of the British 

 Islands ; 50° F. along the north coast of Spain. 

 Moderate or strong westerly winds over North 

 Spain, W r est France, the Bay of Biscay, the 

 English Channel, and adjacent coasts. Strong 

 east winds over the northern half of England 

 and over Scotland. Weather misty at Corunna, 

 but improving generally, especially over the 

 Bay of Biscay, France, the English Channel, 

 and Southern England.
