Weather for Week, 24th to 31st October.
Conditions not pronounced. During earlier portion of week the weather dull, and at times wet over the southern and south-western parts of the United Kingdom, fine but rather foggy elsewhere; later on the rain spread northwards over England and Ireland, and the wind veered from E. to S.E. and S., with a rise of temperature and damp, close air. Pressure highest over Sweden and the Baltic, and, as a rule, lowest over the Bay of Biscay and off our south-western coasts, the gradients for easterly winds being steepest on the 25th. Two depressions appeared, the second of which, apparently larger but not a deep system, approached the Irish Coasts on the 30th, and, moving northwards, caused freshening southerly winds and rain in the west; while light southerly breezes were felt at the eastern station, with very mild but dull and damp weather.—(From Weekly Summary, "Daily Weather Report," November 2d, 1886.)
