WEATHER REPORT FOR 1972
| January is best described as reasonable and very average. February | ||||||
| was similar though it was overcast and damp, it was about average in | ||||||
| rainfall. These two months were notable yet again for their lack of any | ||||||
| amount of snow. Not much snow in March either, it began cold and wet, | ||||||
| then suddenly changed to become warm and sunny. This often happens | ||||||
| at this time of the year, lulling everyone to believe that Spring had | ||||||
| arrived. However, as of'ten happens it did not last. The end of March | ||||||
| and most of April was generally dull and overcast with cold strong | ||||||
| blustery winds. | ||||||
| There was little improvement in May and June, it remained very | ||||||
| cool with a lot of cloud and frequent slight rain. There were some sunny | ||||||
| periods, but not as many as we would have liked. July was also cool and | ||||||
| rather dull, though apart f'rom the very last day it was very dry. August | ||||||
| and September continued in similar style. August was a little brighter | ||||||
| but temperatures never came up to expectations. September which is | ||||||
| very often a pleasant month was a little disappointing, although it was | ||||||
| dry it was very cool and rather dull. | ||||||
| The sunshine of October was almost average. This month was also | ||||||
| very dry, but cold winds and damp, foggy mornings made it obvious that | ||||||
| Autumn had arrived. November was a rnuch wetter month, which also | ||||||
| boasted some sunny days, in fact sunshine and rainf'all were both above- | ||||||
| average for a November. Heavy rainfall at the beginning of' the month | ||||||
| contributed to a much wetter than usual December, again average | ||||||
| sunshine was attained, but at this time of the year it amounts to very little. | ||||||
| After the sunny intervals the year ended foggy, damp and mild. | ||||||
