MAY, 1847,—XXXI Days.

Chinese XXVIIth Year, IIld and IVth Moons.

In this month the heat is fully set in, and it is-particularly in Canton, often oppressive, the more so from the closeness of the atmosphere, the winds being usually light and variable. This is the most rainy month in the year, averaging fifteen days and a half of heavy rain; cloudy days with- out rain, however, are of unfrequent occurrence, and one half of the month averages fine sunny weather.
