Had it not been for the very exceptional character of the first two 
months, the year’s mean temperature would have been rather above 
than below the average. The Spring and early Summer months— 
March to June—were warm and pleasant, and, although there was 
a cold and wet period in July and August, the latter part of the 
Summer was delightful, culminating in the week of 23rd to 2gth 
September—the hottest in the whole Summer. After a few rather 
severe frosts in October, the rest of the year was mild and open.
