RECORDS OF

RAINFALL IN MONTGOMERYSHIRE.

MUCH attention has been paid of late years in various parts of Great Britain to the rainfall, and it would be a matter of considerable interest to know the precise quantity of rain that falls, not merely during the whole year, but during each month, in the county of Montgomery. We have procured statements from W. Buckley Pugh, Esq., and Mr. J. Johnstone, which we have appended with the view of drawing the attention of gentlemen in Montgomeryshire to the subject. These lists, however, are of too short a date to allow conclusions to be drawn as to the average fall of rain at these places. We think that it will require that they should be kept correctly not less than twenty years to allow precise and accurate conclusions to be arrived at respecting the average fall of rain at any place. We have had an opportunity of testing this in the south of Scotland, where much attention has been paid by amateurs to this subject, and it is found that, as a general rule, if only eight years be taken, the average fall seems to be considerably more than if twenty years be the period that is included. It may be asked whether this question be a mere matter of curiosity, or whether any practical advantage can be reached by such investigations.

To a man engaged in agricultural operations we think it is a matter of the deepest importance that he should know authoritatively, so far as science will allow, the quantity of rain that falls on an average each month in

his vicinity. It enables him to anticipate with considerable accuracy when he may expect from his crops, and at what period they ought to be put into the ground to receive the full benefit of meteorological influences. No doubt the skilful and thoughtful farmer obtains by long experience, if he resides on one spot for a life-time, a pretty shrewd idea of the kind of weather that he may expect each month, but if circumstances cause his removal to some distant part of the country, all his weather knowledge goes almost for nothing, and he has to begin his observations afresh on the rainfall.

Thus let us take the average fall these five years at Dolfor and Plas Machynlleth, and see what a different climate we have at these places. The farmer at Dolfor is accustomed to 44.88 inches, and his neighbours at Machynlleth to 62:51 inches annually, and it will be found that each month will show very much the same proportion. Would it not be a great assistance to the stranger who settled at these spots, to know that he must be prepared for very different weather phenomena to what he had been accustomed?

Then as a mere matter of curiosity to the inquiring mind we think the subject is not without interest. He finds that at these two places, Dolfor and Machynlleth, there is a difference of 18 inches. Why is this the case? The sea-level will probably be found to be the cause, but this is not always the reason. We know two spots in the south of Scotland only six miles apart, and precisely at the same height above the sea, and yet there is an average difference of one inch each month between them. These high hills cause the difference, as the moisture-loaded winds from the Atlantic strike against them, and the condensation of the vapours comes down in rain and thus fills the rain-gauge. Some very extraordinary and unexpected facts respecting the fall of rain have been disclosed by the use of this instrument. At one and the same place a series of raingauges placed at different elevations above the soil, indicate very different quanties of rain, the amount being

greater at the lower level. Thus Dr. Heberden found in twelve months, from July 7, 1766, to July 7, 1767, the amount of rain at the top of Westminster Abbey to be only 12:099 in., while on the top of a house close by, but much inferior in altitude, it was 18.139 in., and on the ground 22.608 in.

We know that these few observations will draw the attention of our friends to the importance of this subject, and that they will assist us to obtain an accurate account of the rainfall in a variety of spots in Montgomeryshire.

"General Tables of Total Rainfall at about 1,700 stations in the British Isles," are published annually by G. J. Symons, Esq., F.M.S., etc., of 62, Camden Square, London, and any persons who may wish to keep an account of the rainfall in his district would do well to communicate with Mr. Symons.
