HERALD WEATHER SERVICE.
Continued Stormy Weather Throughout Great
Britain and Northern France.
PROSPECTS OF SEVERE STORMS DURING THE WEEK.
[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD

LONDON Jan. /, 1879.
The prediction sent by the HERALD
Weather Bureau on the Goth of December,
stating that STORMY weather will probably
prevail on the North and Central Atlantic
coasts of Europe until about the end of the
first week in January; succession of storm
centres will arrive on the Norwegian,
British and French coasts between the
28th of December and the Sd of January,
with strong gales, chiefly westerly, and
rains or snow," is now being fulfilled to an
unexceptional degree.
THE ADVANCE OF THE DISTURBANCE.
The weather became very unsettled on
Monday last, and on Tuesday morning o
storm centre advanced over those islands,
attended by strong gales and squalls. with
heavy rains. During yesterday very heavy
squalls from the westward were experienced
in London. The wind in some instances
blew with extraordinary severity for about
IN hour and then lulled almost immedi-
ately into gentle breeze.
DANGEROUS GALES.
On the coasts Of ireland, England and
Northern France the gale was very strong
the centre of greatest disturbance being at
the mouth of the Channel
REPORTS FROM AFFECTED LOCALITIES.
The following reports were received from
some of the coast stations From Brigh-
ton-"The weather here is very showery and
o strong westerly wind prevails" From
Bedford-"very stormy weather continues
in this section, with very little proba-
bility Of its abatement" From Bristol
"a heavy gale is blowing from the
southwest and the aspect is very threat
ening." From Portsmouth-"Heavy show
ers, accompanied by very stormy
weather, continue here, and the prospect
for clear weather during the week
is not very encouraging" The fore
cast published in the London Times says
that the continuation Of the stormy weather
during the present week is very probable,
and it is likely that there will be renewal
of the gales and squalls from the west and
southwest during the next few days. Alto
gether tho weather has been anything but
favorable to the enjoyment of the holidays.
