Note 7 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
I am obliged to him and to Dr. E. Gold for much trouble taken to answer my questions. Some idea of the kind of weather indicated by an average of 2.76° C. above the mean may be got from a comparison with the year 1911, which most people will remember as one of the hottest summers they have known. The July of that year was in east and southeast England about 4° F. above the mean but 2.67 C. means about 4.8° F. above the mean. At Greenwich July, 1859, was about 6.5° F. above the average.
