On the 3rd at 12.20 p.--"The barometer has fallen rapidly over Japan, and riseu quickly over China, except in the extreme North. The typhoon, moving N.E., has reached the S. Coast of Japan. An anticyclone of considerable intensity, central to the N.W. of China, is spreading over the China Coast. In the South the lowest pressure is over the Pacific to the S. E. of Formosa. Gradients are steep over the whole of the China Coast, particularly in the Formosa Channel where strong N.E. gales are expected to prevail. Strong N. and N.E. winds to gales will blow also, over the N. part of the China Sea.' Forecast:- "N. to N.E. winds, strong, squally, some rain."
On the 4th at 12.55 p.-"The barometer has fallen over N.E. Japan, owing to the typhoon which is passing to the Eastward of Japan. Pressure has increased rapidly over S. Japan, and is inclined to give way again over China. The high pressure area still lies to the N.W. of China, and probably a low pressure trough extends over the middle part of the China Sea and the Pacific towards the N.E. of Luzon. Strong N. and N.E. winds and gales will continue in the Formosa Channel and the N. part of the China Sea." Forecast:-
N. winds, fresh; fair."
On the 5th at 12.0 P. "The barometer has risen quickly over E. Japan, and fallen slightly over China and Formosa. The low pressure trough still lies over the middle part of the China Sea and the Pacific towards the N.E. of Luzon, with a tendency for a depres- sion to form over the latter area. Pressure remains high over China to the North of the Yangtze. Strong N. and N.E. winds will continue in the Formosa Chammel and the N. part of the China Sea." Forecast:- N. winds, moderate; fair."
On the 6th at 12.40 p.-" The barometer has risen considerably over China, and fallen moderately in S.E. Japan. The anticyclone is central to the North of the Yangtze. The low pressure trough remains over the middle part of the China Sea and the Pacific to the N.E. of Luzon, the lowest pressure being situated, apparently, in the neighbourhood of N. Luzon. Another area of low pressure appears to be situated off the coast of S.E. Japan. Gradients are steep along the China Coast, and strong N. and N.E. winds to gales will be met with in the Formosa Channel and the N. part of the China Sea." Forecast:-"N. winds, fresh or strong; fair."
On the 7th at 12.45 P.- The barometer has fallen rapidly over E. Japan owing to the depression, which is now moving to the N.E. to the South of Hokkaido. Pressure is inclined to give way over N. China, while it has increased moderately to slightly over S.W. Japan, the Loochoos and Formosa. The anticyclone is still central over China to the North of the Yangtze, and pressure remains low between the Paracels and N. Luzon. Gradients continue steep over S. China, and strong N. and N.E. winds and gales will con- tinue in the Formosa Channel and the N. part of the China Sea." Forecast :—
"N. and N.E winds, fresh or strong; fair.”
On the 9th at 12.5 p.- “The barometer has fallen at all stations; moderately over S. China, Formosa and the Loochoos, and slightly elsewhere. An area of low pressure appears to be situated over the Pacific to the E. of Luzon. The highest pressure is still shown over China to the North of the Yangtze. Strong N. and N.E. winds will continue in the Formosa Channel and the N. part of the China Sea." Forecast :—-
Forecast:-"N. winds, moderate; fair."
On the 10th at 11.40 a.-"Except over E. Japan and the Southern Philippines, the barometer has fallen generally, particularly in the neighbourhood of the Loochoos. The depression noted yesterday is a typhoon. It seems to be situated to the N.E. of Luzon, and to be moving N.W. at present. It may recurve northwards later. The highest pressure is still over China to the North of the Yangtze. Strong N. and N.E. winds to gales will continue in the Formosa Channel and the N. part of the China Sea.” Forecast:--" N. winds, moderate; fine."
On the 11th at 12.5 p.- "The barometer has fallen over S. Japan and risen over China and Formosa. The typhoon appears to be situated to the S.E. of Kiusiu and to be moving towards N.N.E. Pressure has increased but is still in defect over Luzon and adjacent waters. Pressure is high to the N.W. of China, and also over N.E. Japan. Strong N. and N.E. winds are still expected to prevail in the Formosa Channel and the N. part of the China Sea." Forecast:- N. winds, moderate; fine."
On the 12th at 12.20 p.- "The barometer has fallen over S. Japan, and risen over W. Japan, China and Formosa. The typhoon appears to have moved away over the Pacific to the couth of Japan. The highest pressure is still over China to the North of the Yangtze, and the lowest over Luzon and adjacent waters. Strong monsoon is indicated in the Formosa Channel, and strong N. and N.E. winds to gales over the N. part of the China Sea." Forecast :-" N.E. winds, moderate to fresh; fine.'
