The wind never changes from the S. to northward without first dying down either at once or gradually and without rain. But it may change from the SW. or W. to northward without dying down and without rain.
The wind from the E. which visits the Isle so seldom generally begins with rain, though in the lee it is clear and the sun is shining at the time. It lasts from two to six days at least.
When the SE. wind blows in unsettled weather, in the lee there will be sunshine and clear weather.
The winds from the W., SW., S. and SE. are dry winds. The other winds, especially N. and NE., are wet ones.
