Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, Vol. 24: Practice With Science With the exception of the period between March 9th and 19th, when the temperature was below the average to the amount of 21⁄2° daily, the weather was warm throughout the quarter, averaging a daily excess of 43⁄4° for the remaining 79 days. The mean temperature of the 3 months was 42°.6; in 1834 it was 42°.9; in 1846 it was 43°.6; and these are the only instances, so far as trustworthy records extend, of an excess over the temperature of the first three months of the present year. The mean temperature of January was 413⁄4°; of February, 42°.l; of March, 43°.9. The mean high day temperature was in excess 3°.8, 4°.6, and 3°.7 respectively in the three months. The mean low night temperature was in excess 3°.2, 2°.2, and 0°.2 respectively. Therefore both days and nights were warm in January and February; in March the days were warm, and the nights about their average. The mean temperature of the air in January was 5°.2, in February 3°.6, and in March 2°.6, above the average of 43 years. The temperature of the dew-point in January, February, and March respectively was 2°.4, 3°.2, and 0°.9, above the average of the preceding 22 years. The pressure of the atmosphere was in defect in January and March, and in excess in February. The fall of rain in the south of England in January was somewhat in defect, a little over its average about London, and very much in excess in the north. All over the country February and March were remarkably fine and mild. The mean temperature of the air at Greenwich in the three months ending February, constituting the three winter months, was 42°.5, being 4°.7 above the average of the preceding 91 years.
