Weather for Week, August 1st to 7th.
Weather—changeable; the pressure distribution being cyclonic and complex at first (causing north-westerly and south-westerly winds), then anticyclonic, and afterwards cyclonic, but of a simple type (causing southerly to westerly breezes). A small but well-formed anticyclone advanced over us from the westward during the 3d and 4th, but owing to a fall in the barometer in the west it moved southwards.—(From Weekly Summary in "Daily Weather Report" for August 9th, 1886.)
