The Weather in Great Britain During 1938

Abstract

SIR NAPIER SHAW, in the delightful Christmas card which his friends have been privileged to receive, describes the year 1938 as annus memorabilia. The description is a happy one, for the year was memorable in many respects. The amount of material available at the moment for the purpose of summing up the features of the year as a whole is relatively small, and we cannot here attempt anything in the nature of a detailed discussion. It has been thought, however, that a retrospect of the more striking meteorological events would be of interest.
