"BUCHAN'S WINTER"
"Buehan's Winter" is one of the reasons urged against fixing Easter so that it would fall between 9th April and Kith April. It would then run the danger of coinciding with the period of wintry weather which Alexander Buehan, an Edinburgh weather expert, found would come about 11th to 14th April. Buehan's forecasts as regards April weather have been, remarkably fulfilled. In 1928 the temperature in London dropped 30 degrees between 9th April and 10th April. In 1927 the thermometer stood at 01 on sth April and on Bth April had dropped to 37. In 192(1 there was a maximum of 73 on 2nd April and a minimum of 35 on 11th April, the maximum on the later date being only 53. In 1925 there was 50 on 2nd April, and 4th April a temperature which varied between 28 and 49. In 1924 there was a maximum of 00 on 7th April and a maximum of 42 on Uth April. In 1921 "Buehan's. Winter" made the maximum temperature drop from 73 to 40, 33 degrees in four days. Buehan announced six such periods of bad weather.
