JULY.
During the first half of the month of July the weather on the China Coast and in the China Sea was fine. On the Coast between Hainan and Shanghai the general direction of the wind between the 1st and 15th was chiefly SEasterly. In the Southern part of the China Sea the SW monsoon was blowing steadily but not very strongly. About the 15th it increased in strength and moved further north to about 15° latitude with wet and squally weather and the winds on the China Coast became somewhat more Southerly. On the 17th the barometer rose in China particularly on the E Coast and gradients were established for E winds on the Coast and in the N part of the China Sea. South of 15° latitude fresh W and SW winds were blowing and at the time there appears to have been a trough of low pressure across the China Sea in about 15° to 16° latitude. The barometer was falling rather sharply in Luzon. At Manila there was a gentle SW breeze and overcast weather.
The central area of depression appears to have been in about 16°, 114° almost stationary but perhaps moving a little towards WNW.
