MEAN METEOROLOGICAL RESULTS AT TORONTO FOR 
THE YEAR 1862. 
BY G. T. KINGSTON, M.A. 
DIRECTOR OF THE MAGNETICAL OBSERVATORY. 
The mean temperature of the year 1862 differed very slightly from 
the average of 22 years, being only 0°.23 in excess. The monthly 
means likewise conformed in an unusual degree to their respective 
averages, the mean deviation without regard to sign being 1°.42 in 
1862, while the average of these deviations in 22 years was 2°.45. 
As regards the distribution of temperature through the year, the 
first seven months, with the exception of May, were relatively cold, 
being on the whole 0°.75 below the average, while the temperature of 
the remaining five months exceeded the average by 1°.60, and, with 
the exception of November, were all relatively warm. January and 
February, though comparatively cold, do not supply examples of very 
low temperatures, the minimum of the year, —5°.2 on February 15, 
being the highest minimum that has occurred since 1847, and 7°.0 
warmer than the average of the yearly minima. Again, while July 
was relatively cold it furnishes the highest maximum, 95°.5, that has 
been recorded since 1856, when the temperature reached 96°.6.
