REMARKS.
During the past twenty-four hours pressure has increased generally,
and to a remarkable amount in the north and west of our islands.
The readings in the north of Scotland are almost an inch higher than
they were yesterday, but the rise is only about three-tenths at
Yarmouth. Pressure is generally uniform, but higher in the S. W. of
France than elsewhere. Thrs increase of pressure has been•accom,
panied by a general fall in temperature ; also greatest in the north
(11 deg. at Nairn). The gales of the past few days have now dis-
appeared from our own coasts, and moderate north-easterly wind
exist at all northern stations. In the southern part of the kingdom
light W.N.W. winds are reported, but strong S.W. winds continuesin
the Bay of Biscay. Rain has again been general, but not very heavy.
The sky continues overcast, with fog and mist in places ; and the sea
is moderate. The sudden oscillations of pressure and temperature
seem to indicate that the weather is very unsettled.
