92 THE SUNSHINE OF GUERNSEY. 



In Table IV. I give the wet days at all the stations with 

 a mean for 1901 and for the five year period, as well as 

 the average of the 59 years. 



At Haute ville the wet days for the year were 176 against 

 the average of 177. There were more wet days (though 

 smaller fall) right up to October, but the greatest variation 

 from the average was in the spring. 



A study of the monthly totals shows that variation was 

 wild owing to the wetness of March and April and the 

 dryness of May to August. 



The combination of the wet days of the whole of the 

 stations gives an easier curve, which is above the average 

 curve, for the first six months of the year and below for 

 the last six months. The same is found to be true of the 

 monthly mean totals of all the stations together. 



Last year's droughts occurred as follows : —
