Abstract

A simple general relationship, which appears to be applicable in any climate, is found connecting monthly mean values of maximum and minimum dry‐bulb temperatures with mean wet‐bulb temperatures. The formula is extended for predicting individual minimum temperatures on nights when there is no appreciable change of air‐mass between the times of maximum and minimum temperature, allowance being made for wind speed, cloudiness and fog formation.
