628 Meteorological Observations kept at Rangoon. [No. 7. 



Note. 



A good deal of rain fell during the early part of the month ; on the 

 afternoon and night of the 2nd it rained heavily ; wind S. W. ; Wet 

 and dry bulhs equal. 



The quantity of rain has been less than in former months, being 

 only 13.0/ inches, and that fell in 21 days. 



The hotter part of the month has been clear and hot. The wind 

 very unsteady, but varying chiefly between S. E. and S. W. ; occa- 

 sionally in the N. E. with squalls. There have been also a few thun- 

 der-storms. 



Distant thunder frequently, and lightning at night. Since the latter 

 part of the month, the air has been much dryer. 



1 remarked that on the 27th, the kites, which had been absent 

 from this neighbourhood during the rains, made their re-appearance. 

 This I have observed at Cheerra Poonjee to be a sign of the termina- 

 tion of the rains.
