    whicli is prominent in other parts of England, does not appear, though it is suggested by the fact that August has the same amount of rain as July. Thus, although the last three months of the year are less wet than in Kent and Sussex, and the Spring- months rather less dry, the type of seasonal distribution is similar in the three south-eastern counties. It is noteworthy that while September and October have the same percentage of the annual rainfall at all four stations, the southern stations, Red Hill and Haslemere, have a higher proportion of rain in November and December and a smaller proportion in April and May than the northern stations, Kew and Slough.
