In the spring, the N.E. and S.W. predominate, and are 
nearly equal : the N.E. wind blows upon more days this 
quarter than any other. 
In the summer quarter the S.W. wind prevails, and next 
comes the N.W. which has a greater prevalence this quarter 
than in any of the other quarters. 
In the autumn the S.W. is the prevailing wind, next 
comes W., N.E., and N.W., which are nearly equal : the 
N.W. wind is at its minimum amount in this quarter. 
When the winds are referred to the the four principal 
points only, we find the very marked prevalence of S. winds 
in winter: this wind occurring to a much greater extent in 
winter than in any other season. The E. winds of spring 
become also very prominent when the above method is 
adopted. With summer comes the great excess of W. winds, 
and diminution of E. winds. Autumn brings an increase 
of N. and E. winds, and a falling off of W. and S. winds.
