THE WEATHER OF DECEMBER, 188‘2. 
ItV CLF.MF.XT I.. WRAGGK, F.i:.(LS.. F.M.S., ETC. 
'Fhe first half of the month was marked by severe winter weather 
—deep snow and hard frosts—while the second half showed the usual 
characteristics attendant on depressions and crests of pressure from 
the Atlantic passing northwards, and was, lienee, generally mild and 
wet. with high winds and a tiuctuating barometer. Flowers came into 
bloom near the close of the year. The highest reduced barometric 
reading took place on the ‘iOtli, and was about 30-*294; the lowest 
happened between the 4th and 6th, and was about ‘29-010, as means for 
the Midlands. Mean temperature for the Central Counties may be 
given as 86-8, amount of cloud 8-9 (scale 0 — 10), and relative humidity 
98 per cent. Westerly winds were again prevalent. The solar radia¬ 
tion thei’mometer read 88-8 on the 10th at Aspley Guise, and the 
terrestrial minimum —0’8 at Hodsock on the l‘2th. Bright sunshine 
only 16‘0 hours at Hodsock, ‘20‘7 at Strelley, 87‘‘25 at Aspley Guise, 
‘27 at Oxford, and barely 16 hours at Blackpool. The mean tempera¬ 
ture of the soil at a depth of one foot was 88-5 at Hodsock, 87-4 at 
Strelley, and 41-7 at Cardiff. The mean amounts of ozone were 1-0, 
1-8, 8-u, and 4-5—values for Oxford, Cheltenham, Carmarthen, and 
Blackpool respectively.
