April -was dull and wet, but free from the gales which had charac- 

 terised March. The disturbances were mostly shallow and the 

 conditions were generally anticyclonic. The 11th and 12th 

 were very cold, and during the whole of that week the weather 

 was very unsettled and continued so, more or less, to the end 

 of the month. Rain was excessive, but there was very little 

 fog except occasionally at the entrance to the English Channel. 

 The temperature was fairly uniform except for the cold bout 

 on the 11th and 12th and some exceptionally warm days at 

 the end of the month. 



May was a very variable month with much coastal fog. The barometric 

 conditions were on the whole anticyclonic, but with frequent 

 V-shaped depressions in the neighbourhood of the British 

 Islands. Winds very variable during the earlier parts of the 

 month, the temperature being unusually cold during the first 

 three weeks, but warmer than the average during the last week. 

 The weather was very variable with many thunderstorms and 

 a great excess of coastal and also of inland fog.
