Abstract
THE observations at Azizia were published by Prof. F. Eredia in 1923 (Roma, Boll. Inform, econ., 1923, No. 5). After describing the site, in a plain surrounded by hills, he tells how a complete meteorological station, including registering instruments, was established in 1913, of a permanent character, similar to the other stations installed at various places in Tripolitania. He adds that during the period when he lived at Azizia, he determined the frequency of high temperatures from hourly observations and also from the readings of a thermograph at a temporary station near by. Referring to the figure of 58° C. (136° F.) on Sept. 13, 1922, he notes that it occurred during a period of south-west winds and almost cloudless sky. He evidently accepts the reading as correct.
