weather in Northern India are those which hold during the fine clear 

 weather and strongly marked anticyclonic conditions that follow a 

 severe cold weather storm. There is no marked example in the tempera- 

 ture data of January 1889. The conditions are shewn in the weather 

 which followed the snow storms of the 30th, 31st January, and 1st Feb- 

 ruary in the hills of Upper India. 



The account of the storm has been given in a preceding paragraph. 

 The snowfall which it gave was far heavier in the Punjab Himalayas 

 than in the N.-W. Provinces and Nepal' hills. At Simla an average 

 depth of 3 feet lay on the ground at the end of the storm. The weather 

 cleared up in the Punjab on the 1st, and fine clear weather prevailed for 

 some days. The skies cleared in the N.-W". Provinces on the 2nd and 

 3rd, and in Bengal on the 4th and 5th. 



The two following tables give the maximum temperatures and their 

 variations from the normal at eight typical stations in Northern India 

 during the period from the 30th January to 5th February.
