giving a range of 40'4 degrees; the rainfall was 2.6S inches, or
1.39 inches in excess. Although the weather was cold in April,
yet it was for the greater part fine, and the same may be said of
May; but for a considerable proportion of June there was but
little sunshine, and much rain and cloud. As I have already
spoken of the weather in July, August, and September, I need
not do so agaiu, except to state the highest and lowest temperatures.
In July the highest temperature recorded was, as in
June, 85.8 degrees, and the lowest 43.4 degrees, giving a range
of 42.4 degrees, with the large rainfall of 4.56 inches, being
nearly 3 inches above the average. In August the highest
temperature was 850 deg., and the lowest 47.0, affording a
range of 38.0 deg., with a rainfall of 3.64 inches, which was
1.30 inches in excess of the mean. In September the highest
temperature recorded was 73.2 deg., and the lowest 426 deg.,
indicating a range of 30.6 deg., whilst the rainfall was only
0.83 inches. In October the highest temperature was 68.2
deg., and the lowest 30.0 deg., giving a range of 38.2 deg. In
November the highest temperature recorded was 60.4 deg., and
the lowest 35.6 deg., indicating a range of 24.8 deg. In
December the highest temperature reached was 58.0 deg., and
the lowest 27.2 deg., giving a range of 30.8 deg. The weather
generally was very cold, the mean temperature having been minus
3.9 deg. ; but there were a few unusually warm days near the
end, when the maximum temperature for the month was
recorded, the mean temperature for one day being 13 deg. in
excess. November was a cloudy, wet, warm month, having a
daily excess of 3.6 deg. above the mean ; and December in the
early part presented the same characteristics, with frequent fog
and cold in the middle of the month. The mean of the
highest monthly temperatures was 68.2 deg., and of the lowest
33.9 deg., whilst the average of the mean temperatures for
each month was 47.8 deg., being 1.7 deg. below the average of
20 years. The total rainfall registered at my house was 24.84
inches, which fell on 171 days.
