The following forecast of wind and weather in the North Pacific Ocean for May, 153, has ust been received from the Hydrographic tfice in Washington: | | “During the month of May, the sun being well north of the equator, the wind and weather may be expected to undergo marked parts of the ocean. | changes in several The sub-chart of isobars and lsotherms which | appears on the pilot ehart and which express generally the meterological conditions, shows an almost permanent high, Wwith its center | near latituds 35 degrees nortk and longitude | 140 degrees west. Around the high the general | circulation of the wind is with the sun. Along | the south side, the northeast trade winds will be found with an average force of 4 or § (Begufort scale), varying In direction from northeast to east-northeast, and with northern limit_near the thirtieth parallelto the west of | the Hawalian Islands, in the vicinity of the twentieth parallel, they will prob- ably be from the east. Near the American coast, within the trade wind limits, northerly nd northwesterly winds may be expected in- stead of northeasterly winds. The southern lmit of the northeast and northern limit of the southeast trades will be found farther north than -during April. In the doldrums, or calm region between the trades, much rain | and frequent thunderstorms may be expected, | accompanted by calms, light variable winds, or squalls. A moderate amount of fog may be expected along the coast of the United States. Occasionally thunderstorms may be ex- pected along the coast of Central America. Over the Aleutian Islands will be found an almost permanent low of considerable depth. ‘The general circulation of the winds around | this low Is ngainst the sun. In this low area | it will be observed, by an inspection of the sub-chart, that the pressure diminishes more gradually than last month, hence lighter winds are to be expected. Between this low and high ' there is a general movement of the atmosphere | from Asfa to America. as evidenced by the | westerly and southwesterly winds. In the zone | between 35 degrees and 50 degrees north fre- quent moderate westerly gales may be | pected, accompanied by rain, and north of 4 degrees north latitude with occaslonal hail and snow. These gales may be expected, however, to be less frequent as compared with last | month. In this region occasional fog may also be_expected. Occastonal spiral circulations, viz, the oy- clonfc (against the. sun), with low barometer, and the antieyelonic (with the sun), with high barometer, will be found moving In a gen- | eral easterly direction across c.e ocean. Gen- erally, in front of the cyclonic area. or the low, the weather Is damp. with thermometer rising and barometer falling. while in front of the anticyclonic circulation, or the high, it is dry, cooler and the barometer rises. The “average storm track’ traced on the chart shows the erage path of the centers of these Jows, and as this crosses the Pacific above 50 degrees morth latitude the storms and gales | experienced in this ocean to the southward of the track and above % degrees north latitude are generally from southwest through west to northwest. As 8 consequence of the changes in meteoro- logical conditions over Asfa during this sea- son we may expect to find the northeast mon- | foon aving out, it belng interrupted with var- jable winds and calms until the southwest monsoon !eli in steadily along the southeast coast of Asia. This monsoon brings the wet season with, it ana hot, sultry and rainy wea..er may be ex: pected. Fog. mist and rain will be prevalent about the Japan Islands and coast of China. and frequent squalls and thunder storms may be | expected in the vicinity of the Philippine Ts- | fands. J. T.
