MANILA, September 28th, 1906.
Weather notes published by the Manila Observatory for the 24 hours following the date of publication:-
13th 11 a.m.-Barometers are falling in Northern and Western Luzon and almost stationary in the rest of the Archipelago, excepting the most Eastern stations where they show a tendency to fall. There is a center of low pressure to the W. of N. Luzon. Without being dangerous for the Archipelago it will cause winds from the 3rd quadrant on the Western coasts and seas specially in the S. of China Sea and in the Solu Sea, with some rains and general thunderstorms. Fair in S. Luzon, in the Visayas and Mindanao.
14th 11 a.m.-Pressure high in the whole Archipelago including the islands to the S.E. where the barometers did show yesterday a tendency to fall, owing to a depression which is at present getting way from the Archipelago. Winds variable, prevailing those of the Southern quadrants of variable force with thunderstorms, especially inland. Fair.
15th 11 a.m.-Pressure high but unsteady. Winds variable prevailing those of the Southern quadrants, moderate to fresh with thunderstorms, especially inland. Fair.
