that will make themselves generally
felt. Moon is at first quarter and
extreme declination south on the
and, indicating that the low baron
eter and scattering storms of rain
and wind the first days of Septem-
Der will break up suddenly with
quite cool, northerly winds, a rising
barometer and probable irosts
northward, saw from about the ard
to 5th.
The Vulcan storm period CEN
trail on the 9Th, and extending from
the 9th to nth is fully within the
grasp of the Earth, Venus and Mars
periods, with Moon on the celestial
equator and full on the 9Th and in
perigee on the 9th. We predict
that very marked disturbances on
land and sea will develop at this
time. Menacing barometric con-
ditions will precede violent and
dangerous gales in all the gulf
region, while storms of rain, hail,
thunder and wind will follow and
break up season of great warmth
over interior parts of the country.
The storms of this period will
eliminate progressively from west
to east, and along the south
coasts from south to northeast.
from Saturday the 9Th, to Tuesday
the nth.
About the I3th to roth falls a
reactionary storm period, during
which the barometer will fall,
change to warmer will pass from
west to east, and areas of rain will
visit many parts of the country.
These disturbances will eliminate
about the roth, in gales and general
electrical atmospheric perturbations,
and be followed for several days by
raw, rough, unpleasant weather.
We shall not be surprised if the las
half of September brings really
stormier and colder weather than
much of October and November,
especially in northwestern regions.
From the roth to 10th the storm
diagram shows very unusual com.
bination of storm producing causes.
There are two distinct periods of
disturbance within the Mercury
brace-I6th to 27th-namely, the
Vulcan storm period, 18th to 2Ist,
and the reactionary storm period,
indicated by the stars, a4th to 10th.
But Moon is on the celestial equator
on the 22nd, and new and in apogee
on the 23rd, which facts together
with the many perturbing causes
centerlng on these dates, indicate
that spell of prolonged stormy and
violent weather will prevail almost
throughout the Mercury period.
This is another one of those peculiar
times in which, if no violent storms
occur, there will be phenomenal and
unreasonable heat, brassy, hazy.
omlnouS weather, and severe seismic
and earthquake disturbances in
divers sections. We think that
great and dangerous eauinoctial
storms will sweep the south seas and
coasts between the 10Th and 10th.
and that many violent inland storms
will visit interior and lake regions
at the same time. Heavy electrical
storms with black, ugly clouds, NAV
be looked for in connection with
these equinoctial storms. From
wednesday the 10Th to Sund az the
23rd is one of the periods in which
probable violence and danger may
arise. Watch the storms clouds.
especially on and along the waters.
all through this part of the month.
AS suggested above, early and de.
cided dashes of cold, sleet and
snow are likely to follow close on
the heels of very hot weather, along
western and northern sides of storm
areas. A Vulcan storm period is
brewing as September goes out,
but Moon is at greatest declination
south on the goth, hence the at
mospheric tide will lean southwark.
