Abstract
RAINFALL statistics over the British Isles have in no way suffered by the transfer of the collection and discussion of the observations from private to public control. The present annual volume is the sixtieth issued, and the second published under the management of the Meteorological Office. The war occasioned some diminution in the number of observers, but a considerable recovery from this is shown, the number now being 4952, an increase of 54 on 1919. A column is added to the detailed observations, giving the number of wet days or days with 0.04 in or more of rain, and for the present the rain days or days with o.o1 in of rain are also given.
