July:— During the first part of the month the weather was
generally very fine, no rain falling over an extensive
portion of the Kingdom during the first six days, and in
some localities, seven or eight days of the month. For
the next ten days the weather was of an unsettled type,
rain and thunderstorms occurred practically every day in
different districts. The spell of unsettled weather came to
an end about the 17th, and up to the close of the month
fine weather again prevailed.
Mean temperatures— highest 73.0, lowest 53.2, degrees.
Rainfall for Leyton 3.48.
August:— The fine weather which characterised the latter
part of July continued until about the 20th, but from then
it became unsettled, wet and windy.
Mean temperatures— highest TOT, lowest 5T4, degrees.
Rainfall for Leyton 2.39.
September:— The weather was generally of a very unsettled
character and presented great variations; rainstorms of
considerable intensity were rather frequent, and the
thermometric records disclose some remarkable fluctuations
of temperature, from unseasonable cold in the first
half of the month to equally unseasonable warmth at the
close.
Mean temperatures— highest 66.4, lowest 47.7, degrees.
Rainfall for Leyton 1.42.
