V </ A Mr â 1891- ti ANNUAL FLUCTUATION OF THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND. The annual fluctuation of the direction of the wind is shown, perhaps, more decidedly by an examination of the table of frequency than by the resultants. From October to April, inclusive, the winds largely predominate from the E. cjuadrant, but in May they incline towards the SK. From June to August, inclusive, southerly winds strongly prevail, with a tendency, however, to the S\V. (piadrant in July. September, with the departing sun, finds them backing sharply to the NE. By Table 133 it will be seen that the resultant from 10 a. m. ( a. m. local mean time) to 3 p. m. ( p. m. local mean time) had a decidedly greater southerly component than at other times, while from 10 p. m. ( p. m. local mean time) to 2 a. m. ( a. m. local mean time) opposite conditions prevailed. This might be accidental during one year, but its repetition the second year apparently shows a decided influence of the sun on the diurnal variation of the wind's direction.
