GO Report of the Meteorological Sub -Committee for 1892. 



November. 



This month has been a mild, calm, open one, very similar in 

 character to November, 1888. Sickness, especially whooping 

 cough, was very prevalent. At Wallington, on the morning of 

 the 3rd, was seen a very brilliant rainbow, which lasted from 

 7.3 a.m. to 7.23 a.m., the sun having only risen at 7 a.m. The 

 mean temperature was about 1° above the average, and was at 

 Walhngton 44-6°, at Beddington 43-7°, and at Waddon 44-2°. 

 Sunlight was again deficient, and was at Wallington 17 per cent, 

 of the possible duration, being 2 per cent, below the mean. 



December. 



The month was a cold one, and owing to the nearly total 

 absence of snow the ground was frozen to a great depth. The 

 smallness of the rainfall and the lowness of the temperature will 

 probably account for the large amount of sickness which was 

 prevalent. The mean temperature would appear to be about 

 1° below the average, and was at Wallington 85'5°, at Bed- 

 dington 34-7°, and at Waddon 34-9°. Sunlight was again 

 deficient, being at Wallington only 15 per cent, of the possible 

 duration, and 2 per cent, below the mean.
