Abstract
AN interesting article on “The High Temperature of the Twelve Months May, 1911, to April, 1912,” is published in Symons's Meteorological Magazine for May. Dr. Mill points out that for the first time in the Camden Square (N.W. London) record there has been a run of twelve consecutive months in each of which the mean temperature has been above the average of fifty years. In 1911 the month of April was the only one below the average. The mean temperature for the twelve months above quoted was 53.1°, or 3.1° above the average. The nearest approach to this figure for any twelve successive months in the past fifty-four years was 52.8° for the period March, 1868, to February, 1869. The most severe frosts of last winter occurred in the first week of February, but the unusual warmth of the latter part of the month raised the mean temperature 3.6° above the average. March was also very remarkable for its warmth, both the mean temperature, 46.5°, and the mean shade minimum, 40.5°, being the highest on record for March. There were no frosts in the screen.
