The weather forecast is telegraphed daily to the Cape d'Aguilar Wireless Station in time for distribution at 1 p.m. It is broadcasted again at 5 p.m.
Monthly Meteorological Bulletin.-The Monthly Meteorological Bulletin, which includes the Daily Weather Report, was published as usual, and distributed to the principal observatories and scientific institutions in different parts of the world.
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 are communicated to the Commonwealth Meteorologist, Melbourne, in connection with long-range weather forecasts. Monthly meteorological returns are forwarded to the Meteorological Magazine, and annual returns to the Stock Exchange Official Intelligence, and the Colonial Office List.
V.-WEATHER TELEGRAMS, FORECASTS, AND STORM WARNINGS.
Daily Weather Telegrams-In the month of June representations were made to the Superintendent of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Co. on the subject of delays in the transmission of daily weather telegrams. Mr Airey took up the matter energetically, with the result that now observations from the Philippines are received in time for insertion in the Daily Weather Map. The Vladivostock and Indo-China observations also arrive in time fairly regularly, and the Japanese observations occasionally.
Occasionally belated weather telegrams are received from Central and South China, but as a rule, the observations from these districts are posted in batches to Hongkong.
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, from Swatow, kindly sanctioned by the Chinese Telegraph Administration during the typhoon season, was frequently not received.
Wireless Weather Telegrams.-There has been but a poor response to the Marconi Company's circular and the Observatory Notice to Mariners respecting wireless weather telegrams referred to in last year's report.
