Abstract
THE weather of November last has been in many respects so unusual as to call for a brief record of its chief characteristics. For thirteen months previously the immense majority of the depression-centres, or centres of the storms which swept across North-Western Europe, passed to the southward of the northern half of the British Islands, and many of them wholly to the south of these islands, with the inevitable result of unseasonably cold weather to the north of these storm tracts. But early in November an important change set in, and up to the time of going to press the change has been an enduring one, viz. the storms of North-Western Europe have swept eastward along tracts wholly to the westward and northward of the British Islands, with the necessary result of a temperature very greatly in excess of the average of the month.
