Abstract
THE last week of May was marked by hot weather all over the country and by numerous thunderstorms, which culminated in the notable downpours of rain which occurred on Saturday, May 29. The highest temperatures were reported on Tuesday, May 25, when 82° F. was reached in London and the Thames Valley. In London the magnificent cumulus clouds made a fine spectacle, but it was further north, in the neighbourhood of Luton, that thunderstorms occurred. Paris suffered from a severe storm on the same day.
