Weather very variable. In Ugogi and Eastern Usagara the ilainy Mon- 

 soon appears to have set in on the 6th Dec, 1858. 



Until Maroro, the climate had the aspect of the rainy seasons. After that 

 meridian, throughout Eastern Usagara the weather held up; but these masses 

 of hills seem rarely, if ever, to be without rain. The dews are remarkably 

 heavy, forming a contrast with Unyamwezi and the inland regions. 



At Zungomero, reached about the end of December, the violent showers 

 •which fell like buckets-full, piercing at once the thickest thatches, were called 

 by the people the ' Sowing Rains.' All were busy in the fields, and labour was 

 protracted till about the first week in December. 



The sea-breeze extends to Zungomero, setting in at 9 to 10 a.m. In foul 

 weather sea-gulls are blown up from the coast. The vicinity of the Diithumi 

 hills to the N. E., which are rarely, if ever, seen in a clear outline, and the 

 mountains of Usagara westward, render this a region of almost perpetual rain. 

 Its, summer lasts about one fortnight, beginning in early January, at which 

 time no rain falls.
