Rain, &c. this month, 7,140 inches.-Number of wet days, 22.-Total rain this year, 11,870 inches. This has been an uncommonly wet month; indeed, during the reporter's uninterrupted ob servations for the last six years and four months, he has not registered nearly so much rain as what has fallen in the present period. The greatest quantity for the month of May for the six years was in 1811, viz. 5,075 inches; and the greatest quantity for any one month was in September, 1807, the fall was 6,255 inches. The fall of rain in the present month is 7,140 inches; from the 7th to the 26th rain fell either less or more every day.-Out of the 31 days, 22 may be denominated wet, 5 brilliant, and 4 cloudy, but fine and without rain. The atmospherical pressure has fluctuated for the most part about a mean elevation; but after the new moon, which occurred on the 29th, the pressure became high and pretty stationary: the strong west and south-west winds shifting more towards the south, diminished to a feeble breeze, dispersing the clouds; the consequence was, an augmentation of temperature.-Much thunder and lightDing prevailed during the rainy period, particularly on the 10th, 13th, 14th, and 30th.-On the 13th, a sudden violent gust of wind from the south-west.—On the 24th, several hail-showers during the day-The mean monthly temperature is eight degrees higher than the mean of the preceding month. 61 METEOROLOGICAL JOURNAL FOR MAY, 1813.
