Read at Watford, 23rd April, 1895. 



This is the eighth annual report of observations made at our five 

 Climatological Stations, and comprises the usual series of tables. 



The mean temperature of Hertfordshire in 1894, deduced from 

 these observations, was 1°'3 above that of the seven previous years, 

 and 0°"2 above the mean of 1882-86, showing that the year was 

 rather warm. The mean daily range was small, being 0°'6 below 

 the mean of 1887-93, and 0°-8 below that of 1882-86. The 

 extreme range was great, owing to the low temperature (4°'0) 

 recorded at J^ew Barnet in January. Humidity and cloud were 

 about the average ; the rainfall was heavy and on an unusually 

 large number of days. The most northern station (Royston) was 

 as usual the warmest, and our most southern station (New Barnet) 

 had as usual much the greatest range of temperature. 



The observations are made at 9 a.m., the maximum temperature 

 and the rainfall being entered to the previous day.
