METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.


The month of February set in with intense frost, which continued till the 7th, and was then succeeded by mild open weather during the day, though the nights were still coldish, and sometimes frosty. During the whole month, indeed, there were only ten nights on which the thermometer did not sink to the freezing point. After the 19th, the weather became very variable, and continued so till the end of the month. During the first fifteen days there fell scarcely any rain, but after that period hardly a day passed without more or less, sometimes accompanied with gales of wind, the latter uniformly preceded by a sudden elevation of temperature. Since 1812, the month of February has been uniformly warmer than January till the present year, when the season seems to have taken a retrograde course. As compared with the corresponding month of last year, it has also been very cold, the difference in the mean temperatures being upwards of 5 degrees; and what is perhaps still more striking, the mean temperature of February 1817 is a fraction of a degree higher than the mean of the greatest daily heat of February 1818. There is at present the appearance of a very late spring.
