Abstract The weather conditions of 1334 were almost as favourable as those of the preceding exceptional year. This is less obvious in the yearly totals, but the better distribution of rainfall reacted well in mitigating the serious droughts. The conditions in the northern British districts Were again specially advantageous. Table V, p. 261, shows that the normal flowering divergence between England SW. and Scotland N., reduced to 9 days from the normal 20, was a day less than in 1933. In fact all parts south of the Humber averaged 3 days late. For the first time in our 44 years the isakairs, Fig. 4, p. 239, show all Scotland and adjacent sections of England and Ireland as early; in parts up to 10 days. The great bulk of the remainder was as much or more late. As the 8 Districts in Table VI fall chiefly in the latter, their average divergence for the 13 plants is nil against 1 1/2 + days early in Table V. As recorded on the opening page, we are deeply indebted to many helpers, apart from the year‐long alertness of our more than 500 recorders of over 16,000 observations embodied in this Report.
