METEOROLOGY OE THE MIDLANDS. 
THE WEATHER OF JANUARY, 1883. 
BY CLEMENT L. WRAGGE, F.R.G.S., F.M.S., ETC. 
The month was on the whole wet, with a rainfall above the 
average; mild and stormy, with some fogs. The fogs in the Churnet 
Valley, by the way, were exceptionally dense, and the observer at my 
station at Oakamoor reports that on the 19th distinct vision was 
limited to “a couple of yards.” The atmosphere generally was in a 
very disturbed condition, especially during the third and last weeks, 
owing to the passage of depressions from the Atlantic ; and the great 
and sudden fluctuations of the barometer formed a special feature.
