THE WEATHER OF. 1392 
The past year was an abnormal one from both the aspect of its 
temperature and of its rainfall. It was colder than any year since 
1879, and its rainfall was considerably below the average, making 
it the sixth dry year in succession. Its remarkable features were its 
severely cold March, June, and July, and its dry March and April.

With the exception ot two months, May and November, the 
mean shade temperature of every month was below the average, 
and in three cases exceptionally so. March was colder than any 
month of that name during the past 16 years, except in 1883, and 
June than any June save in 1882. July was unprecedently cold, 
the mean shade temperature being lower than in any July during 
the period of which I hold records. October was also a very cold 
month, while November was the reverse, having practically the 
same temperature as its predecessor.
