Abstract
THIS small tract briefly summarises the chief points of popular interest in the climate of Brussels relating to the temperature. The following are the data tabulated which have been calculated from observations made during the forty years 1833–1872:—The mean temperature of the year, seasons, and months; the absolutely highest temperature of each summer, and lowest of each winter; the absolute maxima and minima of each day of the year during any of the forty years; and the mean temperature of every day of the year; together with some other points of interest, such as the degree to which the temperature has risen every summer and fallen every winter. Such tables, if worked out for other places at which the necessary observations have been made, could not fail to prove of great general utility to horticulturists and others, particularly those which show not only the mean temperature of any particular day of the year, but also the degree to which for that day the temperature has been known in the past to rise on the one hand and fall on the other.
