ADMIRAL FITZROY’S INSTRUCTIONS ON THE USE OF THE BAROMETER IN NORTH
LATITUDE.
THE BAROMETER RISES:
For northerly wind (including from N. W. by the north to the eastward),
for dry, or less wet weather, for less wind, or for more than one of
these changes—except on a few occasions when rain (or snow) comes from
the northward, with strong wind.
A THERMOMETER FALLS:
For change of wind towards any of the above directions.
THE BAROMETER FALLS:
For southerly wind (including from S. E. by the south to the westward)
for wet weather, for stronger wind, or for more than one of these
changes—except on a few occasions when moderate wind with rain (or
snow) comes from the northward.
