Abstract
“QUEEN'S WEATHER” has long been a familiar expression descriptive of the most desired weather for all open-air celebrations and enjoyments; and perhaps no June of the last fifty years has presented us with so many days of such choice weather as the June of 1887. In the language of modern meteorology this is due to the fact that the prevailing type of weather has been anti-cyclonic. From the middle of June to the beginning of July, thus including the time of Her Majesty's Jubilee, a very pronounced and remarkable anti-cyclone overspread the British Islands, with its usual attendants of bright weather, strong sunshine and heat during the day, clear and cool nights, and capriciously-distributed rainfall.
