    III.—METEOROLOGY Meteorological observations were carried on throughout the year by the staff of the Borough Engineer’s Department, to whom I am indebted for this information. Twice daily telegraphic reports were transmitted to the Meteorological Office and the Air Ministry. Monthly returns were also sent to these authorities. Daily information was also supplied to the Press. The sunshine and rainfall figures are given below. METEOROLOGICAL STATISTICS, 1954 Sunshine January 83.3 hours.
