The distribution of cold and warmth during the month was similar...

A burst of summerlike warmth on the 18th and 19th was followed by copious rains, soft winds and occasional hot sunshine by day, and rather low temp, by night. The mean temp.
Seite 20 - With some heavy showers in the first and closing weeks of the month, a period of fully a fortnight of brilliant weather enabled hay harvesting to be finished in fine condition.
