EAINFALL OF GUERNSEY. 



245 



WET DAYS. 



In Table I. the distribution of wet days through the year 

 is given, and by it we see that the number of wet days is 10 in 

 excess of the average, chiefly due to the prevalence of misty 

 rain in winter, which gave small daily totals. Fourteen winter 

 days gave 0*0 1 inch and count as wet days, but were 

 practically without actual rainfall. 



HEAVY FALLS 



have been lacking this year, only one of 1 inch and over 



occurred, viz. : June 28th, = 1-24 inches. The fall of the 



25th of December, 0*97, was the next heaviest, and two 

 occurred of 0*79 and 0*71 inches.
