Formulae are developed for finding statistics to describe the latest state of a climatic time series without assuming that the character of the series will remain unchanged with time. The choice of formulae is discussed, and reasons given for the parameter settings which make the operations specific. Applications of the technique are illustrated by the extracts from analyses of British records covering most of the years 1821 to 1980, six being of rainfall and two of temperature.
