MONTHLY ** L PPLEMENT, OF THE METEOROLOGICAL OFFICE, LOND Mainly dull, rainy and cool, many A succession of low pressure systems>in the neighbourhood of the British, Isles >resuited in cloudy, wet weather with average or rather low temperature over the country throughout the month. There was a fine interlude over the whole country on the 10th, and over most of England and Wales also on the 9th, llth and 12th. Only on the 4th in East and Southeast England did temperature reach 80°F. „ rising to 83°F. at Camden Square (London), and 82°F. at Tunbridge Wells. Except locally in Southeast England and East Anglia, especially in coastal areas »rainf all was above the average. At a number of places in Wales, North Ireland and Western England over twice the average amount of rain was measured . At Pembroke there were 8.01 inches, representing over 3 times the average and a record,(since 1877). At Sealand and Aldergrove it was also the wettest July on record. Except for the above mentioned fair interludes, the period 5th till the 24th was particularly wet, and thunderstorms were frequent and widespread,though not severe. Notable daily falls were 3.72 inches at Troon (Ayrshire) on the 15th, 2.83 inches at Teignmouth , and 2.32 inches at Shrewsbury on the 21st, 2.17 inches at Eskdalemuir on the 28th and 2,2 inches at Tintagel on the 5th. At Ross-on-Wye on the 21st rain fell for 6 minratea at the rate of over 3.8 inches an hour. Daily Rainfall at KEW Observatory, July. 1939- No. 271, thunderstorms. Everywhere sunshine i-ecords were below the average. Rosson-Wye reports that only once during the last 25 years has such a dull July been experienced. Stornoway had 14 days without any bright sunshine , and this station, together with Aldergrove, had its dullest July on record. Even during the fine spell in England from the 10th to the 12th only moderate amounts of sunshine were registered, though 16 Hours were enjoyed at Leuchars, and 15.6 hours at Dunbar and Renfrew on the 10th. Gaits were infrequent and not severe. They were experienced locally on the Western Seaboard of Scotland and Ireland on the 14th and 15th, and locally on the Welsh coast on the 28th. In gusts the wind reached 60 m.p.h. at Pembroke on the 6th. There was local coast and sea fog in eastern districts on the 15th, 16th, 19th and 26th, and in Southwestern districts on the 27th to 29th . On a number of occasions after the 15th early morning inist or fog occurred locally inland.
