NOTE—At stations where departures from normal have an asterisk, the temperature record has been maintained for less than 10 years the rainfall record for less than 20 years. Rainfall normals have been revised and now refer to the standard period 1921–50. Where observations are not available for the whole period, or where the site of the rain gauge has been changed, the normals are partly interpolated.
