British Rainfall, 1914: on the Distribution of Rain in Space and Time over the British Isles during the year 1914

Abstract

THE volume contains the records of about 5500 observers in Great Britain and Ireland, and there are various articles associated with rainfall. A paper on isomeric rainfall maps of the British Isles was contributed by the director of the British Rainfall Organisation to the Royal Meteorological Society in November, 1914, and the present volume contains a summary of the paper with the monthly and seasonal maps. A frontispiece in colour shows the relation of the rainfall in 1914 to the average of 1875–1909. The distribution of rainfall in time is dealt with in; various ways from the ordinary daily records. For the occurrence of rain days, droughts and rain spells over the British Isles one hundred stations have been selected, distributed uniformly over the country. The number of rain days are given in a tabular form for each month, and graphically for the average 1892–1911 and for the year 1914.
