The weather forecast is telegraphed daily to the Cape d'Aguilar Wireless Station in time for distribution at 1 p.m. It is broadcast again at 5 p.m.
Monthly Meteorological Bulletin.—The Monthly Meteorological Bulletin, which includes the Daily Weather Report, was published as usual, and distribution to the principal observatories and scientific institutions recommenced in November.
Miscellaneous Returns.—A monthly abstract of observations made at the Observatory is published in the Government Gazette, and daily, monthly, and yearly results are published in the Blue Book in the form suggested by the London Meteorological Office for the British Colonies.
The monthly departures from normal of the barometric pressure at four China Coast Ports were communicated to the Commonwealth Meteorologist, Melbourne, in connection with long-range weather forecasts. Monthly meteorological returns are forwarded to Symons's Meteorological Magazine, and annual returns to the Stock Exchange Official Intelligence and the Colonial List.
V.—WEATHER TELEGRAMS, FORECASTS, AND STORM WARNINGS
Daily Weather Telegrams.—The service of daily weather telegrams has improved somewhat of late, though the Japanese and Vladivostock morning observations are never received till the afternoon. The observations from Central and South China are received by post, the Chinese telegraphic service still being in a state of chaos.
Extra Weather Telegrams.—The following stations send extra weather telegrams at half rates during typhoons, on receipt of certain code words from Hongkong:—Amoy, Canton, Macao, Phulien, Sharp Peak, and Taihoku. The Director of the Philippines Weather Bureau also sends extra telegrams, at his discretion, from Aparri or some other station nearer the typhoon centre.
The extra 9 p.m. telegram, which the Chinese Telegraph Administration kindly sends from Swatow during the typhoon season, was frequently not received.
Wireless Weather Telegrams.—The Marconi Company have generously renewed the offer made in 1916 to transmit meteorological telegrams from ships free of charge, and in July submitted a revised circular for issue to their operators. This circular was distributed to the various shipping companies in Hongkong, together with a notice to mariners, in the month of September. Copies of both are printed below.
