The Causes

This abnormal weather has been caused by the anti-erclone over China coming lower than in usual for this time of the year, The low temperature is due to the North-East monsoon, which is gradually coming down over China, with the cold air dissipat- ing all the warm air, thus causing drizzle and ruin..

The folowing readings indicate the week's full in temperature and the increase of humidity. They are the daily mean readings:
