It will be noticed in the above Table that the mean temperature 
of each season varies considerably, and that it varies more in some 
seasons than in others. The range of the mean increases as the 
year advances ; being least in spring and greatest in winter. This 
leads to the inference that the winter season, at least in Bath, is of 
a more variable character, as regards temperature, than any of the 
other seasons. 
The mean temperature of spring varies from 47°.4 to 50°.5, the 
range of the mean being 3°.1. 
The mean temperature of summer varies from 60°.0 to 63°.5, 
the range of the mean being 3°.5. 
The mean temperature of autumn varies from 48°.5 to 52°.7, 
the range of mean being 4°.2.
