Aurora observed on 1 night, viz.: 23rd; possible to see Aurora on 11 nights;

The Barometric range for this month (2.021 inches) is the greatest yet recorded at the Observatory. A very remarkable range within 12 hours (1.014 inches) occurred from midnight of the 13th to noon of the 14th.

The Rain and Snow were both in excess of the average; the former by 0.251 inches, and the latter by 1.9 inches.

Wind. This was the most windy December since the commencement of the series, giving a mean velocity of 3.83 miles above the average of 9 years.

The resultant direction and velocity for December from 1848 to 1856, was N 75° W 2.88 miles per hour.
