December.—After a day or two of mild and very rainy weather, a
keen frost extended early in the month from the Continent over
nearly the whole of the kingdom, while snow showers occurred
in several parts. Pressure and temperature were above the
average ; the winds were chiefly Westerly or South-westerly.
Rain-fall was deficient in most parts of England; bright
sunshine was less than the average.
Meteorological Observations taken during the Year 1902, at Camden Square
(by H. S. Wallis, Esq.)
The observations have been reduced to mean values by Glaisher's Barometrical and Diurnal Range Tables, and the Hygrometrical results from the Sixth Edition of his Hygrometrical Tables.
