The mean temperature, contrary to what usually happens, exceeds that of the preceding month, by 3.3 degrees, and is nearly 6 degrees higher than that of August last year. There has been no month indeed during the last seven years, whose mean temperature, at the place of our observations, has exceeded 60, which is 2.3 degrees lower than that of August. The temperature on particular days has sometimes been higher than on any day of last month, but so long a period of uniformly warm weather has seldom been experienced in this climate. In the course of the month, the thermometer stood seventeen times at 70 and upwards, and only sunk twice below 50. During the first eighteen days of the month, the barometer fluctuated at the rate of about one-tenth in twenty-four hours, but was, upon the whole, rising. After the 18th, on which day it stood at 30.335, it began to sink slowly till the 27th, after which the depression became more rapid, being at the rate of three-tenths and a half in twenty-four hours, and on the 31st it reached its lowest, 28.740. The rain that fell in the course of these four days amounted only to half an inch, and the wind was scarcely a moderate breeze. The disturbance in the equilibrium of the atmosphere must therefore have happened at a considerable distance from the place of observation; and the following singular phenomenon, as related in the Perth Courier, seems to afford a satisfactory explanation of the fact. On the forenoon of Tuesday last, about half-past eleven o'clock, (a short time after the barometer had reached its lowest point of depression) the tide in the Tay, after having receded about five inches below high water mark, changed its direction, and again began to flow up the river, until it reached its former height. The writer of the article ascribes this second tide to a strong gale in the Atlantic, forcing the water above its usual height, through the English Channel and the Pentland Frith, and the explanation is confirmed by the contemporaneous depression of the barometer. The state of the hygrometer during the month indicated a considerable degree of humidity in the atmosphere. The point of deposition at ten in the evening, coincides exactly with the mean minimum temperature, but the average of morning and evening is higher, obviously occasioned by the deposition of dew at night, and evaporation in the morning. We found, from observations made every hour during some of the finest days, that after the dew had been evaporated, the absolute quantity of moisture in the atmosphere received little addition, owing to the unusually dry state of the ground. 1 METEOROLOGICAL TABLE, extracted from the Register kept on the Banks of the Tay, four miles east from Perth, Latitude 56° 25', Elevation 185 feet.
