Forecast of Wind and Weather in the North Pacific Ocean for September, 153, The sub-chart of fsobars and isotherms for September, - which appears elsewhere on the chart, shows an almost permanent high, slight- 1y farther east and of somewhat smalier area than .the one during August, the center being | near latitude 41 degrees north and longitude | 146 degrees west. The trade wind limits will he | found considerably farther ‘scuth than during the preceding month, and these winds will be found not so clearly marked. In the zone between 35 degrees north and 30 degrees north - gales, accompanied with rain, may be expected with greater frequency. than during August. Out of 2311 observations In that part of the ocean included between latitude 35 degrees north and 50 degrees north and longl- tude 125 west and 145 east, 1§ per cent give a [ force of wind above &, and 7 per cent above | ¢ (Beaufort scale). as against 10 per cent and 3 per cent, respectively, for the month . of August. In the China Sea and the vicinity of the Philippine Islands rain squalls and thunder storms may be expected, espectally in the vicin- ity of the western coast of the Isiand of Luzon. Squally weather may be expected in the vicin ity of the Hawaifan Islands and on the coasts { of Mexico and Central America. Occasional highs and lows will be found mov~ ing in a general easterly direction across the | ocean. Generally, in front of the cyclonic area, or low, the weather is damp, with thermometer | rising ‘and barometer falling, while in front of | the anti-cyclonic circulation, or high, it 1s dry, | cooler and the barometer rises. The ‘‘average storm track’ traced on the chart shows the average path of the centers of these lows. The average low over Asia will have moved { off the coast tq the southeast, and a high will | be found forming to the northward. This con- | ditfon brings the opening of. the northeast mon- { soon season, and these winds, though not fully | established,” will probably begin to blow:in the Formosa Channel and along the northern part | of the coast of China during this month. Typhoons. are expected more frequently this month than last in the China Sea, as during | September the occurrence of thede eyclomic | ing ‘to the eastward of the Philippine Islands. | The average paths of the different classes of shown on the chart. After crossing the line eoming north vessels bound for the west coast of America may ex- pect” heavy rain squalls and thunder storms, | and decastonal wind qualls in passing. through the doidrume. | " Fog and heavy mist will be found along the | American coast, -though rot so prevalent as | Inst month, and north of the forty-fitth parallel from the American coast to the Kuril Islands, occasional fog may be expected. The coast of China may be.expected to be comparatively free from fog. this month NOTICE TO MARINERS.
