THE RAINFALL OF GUERNSEY. 



We have it here shown that the whole of the Stations 

 give a mean for the last three years of 32*13 inches, whilst 

 Hauteville for the same period gives a mean of 35*26, thus 

 showing that Hauteville requires a correction of 3*13 inches 

 per annum to bring it to the mean of the whole island. Again 

 the average of the 56 years of town rainfall differs by 4*63 

 inches from the mean of all the Stations. 



If you look at the results published last year you will be 

 surprised to find that this year confirms and accentuates the 

 differences then found.
