The Twenty-Second of March, Wednesday
The tree trunks sway, the branches and twigs bend, the tall grass lies flat on the ground. Walking against the wind is difficult. The wind is whistling around buildings and motionless objects (a weather station). The telegraph wires hum. The crests are outlined by long banks of wind-driven waves, the foam blown off their crests by the wind begins to stretch in strips along the slopes of the waves. The wind is westerly, thirteen to fifteen metres per second. The number of altocumulus clouds, wavy and opaque, has increased over the last hour.
Moderate, unfrozen rain constantly falls. The ground is damp and unfrozen. For the last three hours, the barometer has shown a steady drop in pressure. The air temperature is five degrees Celsius.
The Twenty-Second of June, Thursday
The leaves and thin branches of trees are constantly swaying. Tall grass and cereal crops begin to sway. The wind flutters flags and pennants. Small crests of waves begin to topple over, but the foam is glassy, not white. The wind blows from the southwest, three to five metres per second. In the last hour, the puffy, fibrous, tangled clouds have scattered. Precipitation does not reach the ground. The soil is moist, without puddles. For the last three hours, the barometer has shown even pressure. The air temperature is twenty degrees Celsius.
The Twenty-Second of September, Monday
Individual leaves sway, sometimes rustling; smoke rises diagonally, showing the wind direction; flags show no sign of significant movement. There is a ripple on the sea. The ground fog has weakened to a haze, the sky is visible, and visibility in the area is over one thousand metres. Puffy layers of fog-like clouds spread across the sky. An unbroken shroud of clouds is over forty-five degrees above the horizon. There is an interrupted, weak unfrozen drizzle. The soil is moist. For the last three hours, the barometer has shown a rise in pressure. The lower boundary of cloud cover does not exceed four hundred and twenty metres. The wind blows from the northwest, up to one and a half metres per second. The air temperature is sixteen degrees Celsius.
The Twenty-Second of December, Saturday
The foam covers the slopes of the waves in wide, dense, merging strips, turning the water white. The air is filled with water mist and spray. Horizontal visibility is very seriously affected. Minor damage to structures can be observed. Some trees are broken; small objects are displaced. Sand is lifted up by the wind and carried in a whirl, along with individual snow crystals in the form of stars. Cumulonimbus clouds predominate, with a thunderhead. The soil is damp and unfrozen. Pressure is stable. The wind is northerly, twenty-two metres per second. The air temperature is minus three degrees Celsius.
