Thirty-Third Report (Third Series) of the
Committee on the Climate of Devon

Trans. Devon Assoc., vol. 47, (1915), pp. 171-174.

by

R. Hansford Worth (Ed.)

Prepared by Michael Steer

The report was read at the Association’s July 21, 1915 Exeter meeting. The year 1914 in Devon was distinctly wet, with 25 per cent, more than the average rainfall. About one in every ten years equals or exceeds this percentage. The temperature was slightly above the average. This report extract will (a) provide names of the Climate Committee members, (b) a comprehensive list of the Stations at which readings were taken, as well as (c) the names of the observers. The report extract is from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal that can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries. These books, on which copyright has expired, are available for free educational and research use, both as individual books and as full collections to aid researchers.
Committee Purpose: To collect and tabulate trustworthy and comparable observations on the climate of Devon.
