Anisotropies in time of energetic primary cosmic radiation are investigated by analyzing 280,000 air showers detected with an extensive-shower detector of 18 Geiger counters. Little evidence for a diurnal variation is seen in sidereal time while variations in solar time seem to be due to fluctuations in the data, not to any correlation with the semidiurnal pressure waves.
