On August 30th the barometer had risen at the stations on the East Coast and as far south as Foochow. On the SE and S coasts the barometer was almost steady, but inclined to fall on the whole and gradients had become favourable for NE winds and these blew over these districts with force two In Luzon the barometer was steady with light SW breezes chiefly. Some vessels to the South of Hongkong and North of 20° lat. had moderate E and NE breezes. Others in about 17°, 114° had moderate SW breezes with overcast skies. Some in 15°, 112° light variable breezes while one vessel off the Annam Coast had a strong WNW breeze. There appears to have been a very shallow depression forming SE of Hainan. During the evening the weather at Hongkong became very wet and the wind increased to a fresh ENE breeze. At Hoihow there was a thunderstorm during the evening with ESE 4 and falling barometer.

The following are the observations for August 30th at noon :-
