winds.
Winds may be divided into those produced by
condensation these originating IN rareaction OF the
air. Those caused by rain are of the former kind,
and begin to the wndward of the direction in which
they blow and an instance Of wind produced by ra-
refaction Of the air we have in the sea-breeze
The sea-breeze prevails In the months OF June,
July August and part of September, whenthe wealth
er is clear, dry and hot. 1t begins in the morning
about nine O'clock and continues until four IN the al
! ternoon: commencing from the North East and gra-
duay veering round to the South East. 1t raises
to the Ieeward of the direction from which it blows,
a;crcumstance peculiar to all winds produced by
raretaction of the air.
Some further observations on the four cadinal
winds. The East, the South the West and the North.
The East wind or winds from the sea may be di-
vided into those accompanied with clouds and rain
and those occurring in dry clear weather. The Tor
mer prevail in winter and spring the latter IN sum-
ner autumn with the exception of the equlnoctial
e storms is nearly free from the east wind
t The eastery winds accompanied with ram arse
from condensation of the air the sea and ra-
II refaction of it the land at the same time, and
when both ofthese conspire together IN the
greatest degree violent storms and tempests are pro-
d duced. The circumstances favorlngthis combined
oi operation of these causes are very heavy and eX-
tensivc rains on the sea at the time that far
10 weather obtains over the land.
= The dry East wind as it is commonly called, arl-
ses entirely from raretacton and may be considered
Id as modification of the breeze being produc-
I'd ed in the same manner and differing from only N
t. the extent to which it reaches and the time tor
In which it lasts. 1t rises into violent tempest.
Id circumstance common to all winds produced by
is rareaction
le The South wind prevails at all seasons of the
ID; year. In The spring is strong and sometimes vlo
ey lent in the summer it is mild, soft, bamy, 5ringn:
nd with gentle tertilizing showers, Madldls notu
evoat ais in autumn it retains its estya character
lei and in winter, in few hours from its commence
nd ment it gives us the weatherof May, September ant
nd October
