Abstract
A FEW years ago (in 1908) I expressed in your columns two views about the Greenwich winter, which both appear to gain further support from what is now happening. One is that after a very wet Rothesay summer, the Greenwich winter tends to be mild (NATURE, March 12, 1908, p. 438), the other that after an autumn at Greenwich with all three months dry, the Greenwich winter tends to be mild (NATURE, December 24, 1908, p. 221). We have both those antecedents in 1912—that is, the Rothesay summer was very wet, and the three months September-November at Greenwich were all dry—and the current winter may now be safely characterised as mild.
