RAINFALL OF 1877. 



third year in succession the general rainfall over this district has been 

 considerably above the average. Heavy rains in January, following 

 similar downfalls in December of 1876, produced frequent floods. On 

 January 3rd a steady and continuous downpour proved the maximum fall 

 of the year in the eastern and east-central counties, and wet and cold 

 weather continued to the end of April. May was also a cold month, but 

 in June we had a remarkably fine and pleasant period, rainfall every- 

 where in England below the average, and falling on eight to ten days 

 only. A heavy storm on July 14th (accompanied by electrical distvirb- 

 ances) caused the maximum fall, in the western and west-central 

 Midlands, over three inches falling in the twenty -four hours at Haughton 

 Hall, Shifnal. August was wet, September about the average, but 

 October was rather a fine month, followed, however, by frequent rains to 

 the end of the year.
