OBSERVATIONS ON THE WEATHER,

FOR JANUARY, 1822.

GENERAL REPORT.

THIS month has been dry and calm, and the state of the air mild for the season. Several hoar-frosts, however, appeared in the early part of the mornings, and the thermometer was under 36o on ten different nights, and three times below the freezing point. The mean temperature of the air is 1.33° higher than in last January; and rather more than 20 above the mean of January for seven years past. The mean temperature of spring-water at 8 AM. is 20 higher than in January, 1821. The aggregate of the spaces described by the rising and falling of the mercurial column is unusually small for January, and the pres-, sure of the atmosphere very great, the mean height of the barometer being nearly

Naval Academy, Gosport.

ths of an inch above that of the preceding month.

The wind having prevailed 23 days between the W. by S. and N. by E. points of the compass this month, the depth of rain, therefore, does not amount to ths of an inch, even with a pluviameter placed near the ground; and the evaporation is nearly as much again as in former Januaries.

The atmospheric and meteoric phenomena that have come within our observation this month, are 1 parhelion, 3 lunar halos, 3 meteors, 1 rainbow, and 3 gales of wind, or days on which they have prevailed, namely, 1 from SE. and 2 from NE.

DAILY REMARKKS.

January 1. After a slight shower, a sunny day, and a bright moonlight night, when Cirrostratus came up from the westward and produced a large Junar halo; a slight hoar-frost towards morning.

2. A sunny day: a double rainbow at 4 PM. the diameter of the interior bow to the outside of the colours measured 83° 50'-a very bright moonlight, followed by hoar-frost on the leeward side of the house-tops only, the unobstructed current of air to windward having been too humid for its production.

3. AM. overcast with Cirrostratus: PM. rain, and a strong gale from SE. The maximum temperature for the last 24 hours occurred in the night.

4. Rain and sleet with the wind from NW.: PM. fine, but a hard gale from NE., and passing Cumulostratus.

5. AM. fair, with Cumuli, and a continuation of the gale: PM. a clear sky, and a rose-coloured twilight, which we have not seen for many weeks past. A faint discus halo about 7 in diameter, and of a greenish colour, appeared around the moon in the evening, followed by a slight hoarfrost, and the dikes slightly frozen over.

6. A fine day, but a keen northerly breeze: cloudy at intervals by night, and frosty.

7. A slight shower of snow early, which is the first we have seen here this winter, followed by a cold rainy morning: PM. cloudy and fine.

8. A fair day, with a mixture of Cirrocumulus and Cirrostratus forming a mackerel-back sky: overcast after sunset.

9. A slight hoar-frost early, and a fine day, with passing clouds: a blush on the twilight, followed by a clear sky and some dew by night.

10. Overcast with a veil of Cirrostratus, except about two hours in the morning, and a humid air beneath.

11. Calm and overcast, except in the afternoon, when it was fine, and the clouds coloured at sun

set.

12. Overcast with a veil of attenuated Cirrostratus, and calm-drizzling rain about 2 hours in the evening.

13. Overcast and calm-much dew towards morning.

14. A clear sky except two or three hours in the afternoon, when Cumuli appeared. 2 middle-sized meteors in a westerly direction in the evening.

15. Fair, with a very dry NW. breeze. (See evaporation column in the table.)

16. At 40 minutes past 8 AM. a beautifully coloured parhelion appeared on the east side of the sun in a thin watery Cirrostratus: the sky soon afterwards became overcast with Cumulostratus.

17. Light rain in the morning and afternoon; a clear sky by night, and one small meteor.

18. Sunshine, with the lighter modifications of clouds: a humid air by night, when low beds of Cirrostratus passed over.

19. Overcast in the morning with Cirrostratus, and afterwards with Cumulostratus, accompanied by light airs.

20. The sky shrouded with close Cumulostratus nearly all day; and light rain by night.

21. A fair, calm, and clear day, except about 2 hours: cloudy by night.

22. A Stratus early-calm and overcast throughout the day and night.

23. As the preceding, except the Stratus: rain by night.

24. Light rain and calm in the morning: PM.

Overcast.

25. Sunshine and Cirrus in stria, followed by Cirrocumulus, &c. and a brisk wind. The dark part of the moon this evening was well-defined by the naked eye till she set, being of a bright copper colour.

26. A sunny day, with various modifications of clouds, and a brisk NW. wind: a rainy night. 27. An overcast and calm day: drizzling rain by night.

28. AM. as the preceding: PM. a clear sky.

29. A slight hoar-frost early, and a sunny morning, with passing beds of Cirrostratus, which increased in extent, and shrouded the sky the remainder of the day and night.
