The quantity of rain fallen fince the laft Report is equal to 0.951 inches of depth. ~ 
As we auticipated in our laft, we have experienced a moft favourable feafon fur the hay- 
harveft. Very few days in the month have been fuch as to prevent the bufinels of agricul- 
ture peculiar to the month. The thermometer and barometer bave been both unufually 
high, the former averaging nearly 662°, which is more than 6° higher than it was at the 
fame period iaft year ; and the latter 30.158 inches. Tie variatiéns in the barometer have ~ 
been but teifling ; and the moit important one that occurred in the thermometer was during _ 
the ftorm of the 20th. Heyes a 
Two confiderable {torms have occurred this month ; the firft was about four o’clock in the’ ~ 
afternoon of the 2d inftant. The thunder was loud, and the lightning very’ vivid; and - 
continued at fhort intervals for about three quarters of an hour. In London the rain was 
the moft heavy that had been witneffed for many years ; butit did not extend to any dif- 
tance north. Indeed, at this place, a few large drops only fell. At the beginning of the 
ftorm the thermometer ftood at_812, and it fell to 76°. The rain in London was accome - 
panied with hail-itones of confiderable fize. On the 6th we had more rain and large hail, 
which continued about half an hour. 4 t baie 
The fecond ftorm took place again about four o’clockin the afternoon of the 20th. The 
thunder, lightning, and rain on this day we have reafon to thnk extended toa very confi- ! 
derable diftance at the fame time: the thermometer {tood at 80°-; but, during the firft half. 
hour it had faller 20%, and at 60° it continued to ftand for the remainder of the time that. 
it rained, and for fome time after. ~At this place there was no perceptible change in the height 
ofthe mercury in the barometer ; but in Kent, at the diftance of about twelve miles from the 
metropolis, the barometer, in the courfe of two or three hours, fell and rofe nearly two- 
tenths. ; = a : i ed 
The wind during this month has been chiefly fouth-weft. Twenty-five days have been ~ 
withovt, andof thefe twenty-three were very brilliant. bil ; 
At the defire of a gentleman, we fhail in future regard the feveral tiers of clouds, and 
their courfe, asthey feem connected with the rain that falls; and at the requeft of the fame ~ 
perfon we fhall be glad of imformation from various parts of the country as to the time when 
the ftorm of the 20th inftant happened, and any circumitances relating to it.
