Abstract

LAST night at about 10.30 to 10.35 p.m. there was a well-marked aurora visible from here. It did not last long, the bright bands fading rapidly into a general glow towards the north. The wind, which was easterly yesterday, has gone round to north-west to-day with tendency to rain and low temperature.
