THE WEA THER.
li
NOTHINGis more uncertain than guides as to the probable weather of the
year, and in Queensland this remark acquires additional force from the
fact that no two seasons can be reckoned as a ke. But there are certain
rules which, if closely observed, will serve to show the probable weather,
although a change of wind may altogether disturb even the closest calcu-
lation. From observations taken with great nicety, for many years it has
been proved that at-
New Moon changes have been 68 Settled weather 42

The scale is.so many out of every hundred. A rapid rise of tie barometer

when continued with dryness, very fine weather. A rapid and consider-
able fall indicates storms ; alternate rising and sinking, unsettled weather.
S.E. or S., or S.W. The causes which affect the barometer are-1. The
direction of the winds. 2. The amount of vapour, moisture, or strength
of wind. A barometer begins to rise considerably before the conclusion of
a gale, but sinks very low before high winds or heavy rain. It falls (not
always) before thunder. Instances of fine weather with a low glass occur,
but not often. A long movement of the barometer either up or down,
predicts a corresponding continuance of fine weather or otherwise. Dew
is more frequently than otherwise an indication of fine weather-so is fog.
Neither of these occur under an overcast sky, or when there is much wind.
Fog is never formed while there is a strong breeze. Remarkable clearness
of atmosphere, and distant hills appearing nearer than usual are indica-
tions of rain. An unusual twinkling of the stars, and haloes round the moon,
are also pretty sure signs of change. But in every case the dryness or
dampness of the air and its temperature must always be considered,
together with locality ; and in most cases nothing but observations regis-
tered during a long period can be relied on, as the mountain, the plain,
the thickly or sparsely wooded country, or the coast line or swampy dis-
trict, may each contribute their quota of atmospheric influence to pro-
duce a corresponding change. In summer, rain in Sydney is almost sure
to reach Queensland.
Calculations for 1877 show results as follows:-January, beginning of
month fair, with showers and gusty wind towards the close. February
changeable throughout. March, much rain during second and third
weeks, fair towards the close. April, showery, with heavier rain in the
second and third weeks. May, wet during the first part of the month,
fair and mild afterwards, with frost and fine weather at the close. June
will probably be fine throughout, with occasional frost. July may be
ushered in with cold wind and gusty showers, but will most probably
terminate with fair weather and heavy frost. August is likely to be a
changeable and showery month, with little frost. September generally
dry and fine. October, rainy during second or third week, but probably
will be on the whole a fine month. November, rain and change with few
intervals of fine weather. December may be ushered in with wind and
rain, ending with fine weather,- probably indicative of drought during the
summer months. New Moons in Apogee-January and February ; in Peri-
gee-June, July, August, and September. Full Moons in Apogee-June,
July, August ; in Perigee-February and March.

The elements for the Nautical Ephemeris are for Greenwich date, and
must be corrected for other meridians by Nautical Tables, 1 and 2, see
pp. 28 and 29. Sidereal time at Mean Noon is useful for finding hour
angles of the fixed stars and planets, see Nautical Tables 3 and 4, p. 30, for
its reduction to Greenwich date.
