At nine o'clock this morning the temperature recorded at the Royal Observatory was 44.8 de- grees Fahrenheit. At the same time yesterday morning the thermometer stood at 72.9.

Thus there was a drop of 28.1 degrees within 24 hours.

This equa's a previous record over the 24-hour period. In the past there had been a more spectacular fall of 40 degrees, sald a Royal Observatory official, but the fall covered a longer period". about two days.

The cold spell was due to the rapid Interalfication of the con- tinental anti-cyclone, which hari resulted in winds of gale force off the coast. In some 20309 winds of 30 knots had been re- porled.
