~ November Winds and Weather.
Pressure--High pressure, with a
central area of 30.15 inches. continues
over and 70 the southwest of the
Azores, and an area of 1910 inches ap-
pears off the coast of the United
States. The Iceland low has deepened
and the pressure is 1910 inches be-
tween the 55th and the 60th parallels
A belt of moderate low pressure ex-
tends along the equator.
Temperature-Rapid changes occur
along the American coast from New
Brunswick, where the temperature is
30 degrees. to Yucatan, where it is rs
degrees. Along the northern steam
ship routes the mean Is from As to so
degrees In the greater portion of the
Caribbean Sea and east of it, between
the 18th parallel and the equator, the
temperature is about 80 degrees.
Westerlies and Gales-The circula-
tion between the Iceland low and the
high of the Azores results in large
percentage of westerly winds over the
northern part of the ocean, and the
increased pressure gradient of No
vember causes an increase in the
percentage of gales over this region.
The storm winds are usually preceded
by light easterly or southerly winds
with falling or stationary barometer.
American Coast Winds-Northwes-
terly winds sweep the coast from the
Gulf of st. Lawrence to Hatteras.
Southwark from Hatteras the winds
become more northerly andlprth-
Fasterly. until they merge with the
northeast trades.
: Winds South of 35 Degrees N.-The
Trades: Gales are infrequent south of
80 degrees N. and tropical hurricanes
rarely occur this month, although cy-
clonic storms may form and hover for
days near Madeira or the Azores.
The northern limit of the northeast
trades closely follows the 25th parallel
except where it DIVORCES to the north
ward over the Canary Islands Be
tween the 30th and the 60th meridian
these trades blow most steadily from
the east. East of this area, and west
of 1t to as far as the Goth meridian,
they are. principally from the north
east. sAs they approach the equator,
in about latitude 5 to degrees n, the
winds become southeasterly, and this
change to the southeast trades is
marked by high percentage of Gains,
especially east of longitude 35 degrees
Near the African coast. between 5
and 10 degrees N, light southwest
monsoon winds prevail. The winds
are decidedly southwesterly in the
Gulf of Guinea.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the New
foundalnd straits by the transatlantic
trade ordinrily ceases about Nov. rs,
although the average date of forma
ton of local ice is some two weeks
later. In the st. Lawrence river the
close of navigation occurs during the
last week in November.
3 Fog-The general percentage of fog
las disminished since October, al
though the area of highest percentage,
OTTO 80 per cent of days, continues to
the southeast of Newfoundland with
lftNe change. A slight increase has
occurred in the English Channel
