Brltaih'- Abnormal summer

Hr1Iu1nls ADuOTnuA Sumnaer
Those Americans who visit Great
Britain and those natives Of the old
country now living on this side of the
Atlantic will be interested in this ac-
count of abnormal weather given by a
writer in the London Times:
1.-THE United Kingdam has recently ex-
perienced a series of three very remark
able summers The first of the trio,
that of 1911. was distinguished by a phe-
nomenal amount of sunshine and heat,
the shade temperature in England rising
very frequently to 30 degrees and up
ward, and reaching in August record
reading 100 degrees at Greenwich. Next
came a summer which was in almost all
respects of an entirely opposite charac-
ter, long spells of cool, wet weather.
eliminating in one of the worst Au-
gusts the country had ever seen. This
year the combination of meteorological
events was, for the summer time, very
unusual the weather being not only cool
and cloudy. but In most districts extra
ordinarily dry. Scarcely any part of the
country experienced at any time shade
Temperatures much over so degrees, and
in July, usually the hottest month in
the year, there were many places In
which the thermometer failed to rise
appreciably above rs degrees.
THE statistics relating to rainfall are
very striking. The number of days with
measurable quantity of precipitation
was everywhere very deficient, and with
the exception of the north of Scotland,
the northwest of England and the north
of Ireland the total quantity of rain
amounted nowhere to as much as two-
thirds of the average Over large por-
ton of England considerably less than
half the normal quantity was collected,
the driest district of all being the south
western. with only SO per cent of the
average and the northeastern with only
4S per cent. over England as a whole
the season was much drier than in 1911.
In the northeastern counties the rainfall
was less than half the amount meas
ured two years ago, and in the same dis
trict and the midland counties it was
less than a quarter OF that experienced
in the cool, wet season of last year,
while in the southwest of England it
was less than a fifth of the amount
recorded a 12-month ago
Over ehe eastern and southeastern
counties generally the duration of bright
sunshine this year was only a trifle
