Abstract
WE now possess excellent long series of weather-observations for many places. It occurred to me lately to apply to several of the annual temperature series in Europe an averaging process which would tend to bring out the larger waves of variation, or at least to show how year-groups of a given magnitude compare with one another. I have accordingly considered in groups of ten years (1 to 10, 2 to 11, 3 to 12, and so on) the following (see diagram):—A. Annual mean temperature of Greenwich (from 1841). B. That of Geneva (from 1826). C. That of Bremen (from 1829). D. That of Vienna (from 1826).
