Grass minimum temperature January 1922 - quite a lot of grass minima that were higher than the air minima
Past weather 1922 - obs from last observation of day seem to refer to previous day; remarks refer to the whole day. Note that Beaufort wx entries can be made for 'since midnight or previous obs', 'at time of obs' and 'from last obs of day to midnight'. However, it is apparent that 00-09, 09 and 09-24 were not used at Reading on all days - and the latter probably refers to 'yesterday'.

1921,12,27: grass min higher than air min
1922,01,16: grass min higher than air min
1922,01,19: grass min higher than air min; NCEP analysis suggests changing pressure from 29.884/1015.6 to 29.384/998.7
1922,01,20: grass min higher than air min
1922,01,23: grass min changed from 340 to 290
1922,02,05: grass min changed from 325 to 275
1922,02,23: grass min changed from 450 to 400; NCEP analysis suggests changing pressure from 29.374/997.9 to 29.734/1010.1
1922,03,08: although the pocket register gives a value of 28.53 inches, the NCEP analysis suggests 29.03 is better."
1922,04,26: air/grass minima swapped round cf the register
1922,05,25: register has min=619 crossed out in pencil by 569 - but this is lower than grass min
1922,07,14: thunder date might be 13th (monthly report) but RB thinks this is an error
1922,07,30: grass min changed from 503 to 453
1922,07,31: .02 in of rain appears in register but not in the monthly return
1922,09,12: NCEP analysis suggests changing pressure from 29.102/989.4 to 29.602/1006.3
1922,09,14: NCEP analysis suggests changing pressure from 29.360/998.5 to 29.036/987.6
1922,09,15: NCEP analysis suggests changing pressure from 29.952/1018 to 29.592/
1922,09,22: max temp missing - estimated as 680 by RB
1922,09,26: grass min changed from 511 to 411
1922,11,15: grass min is high - due to fog?
1922,11,21: grass min is high but air min occurred on previous day possibly so grass min prob. OK
1922,11,22: dry/wet changed from 431/435 to 435/431
1922,12,20: NCEP analysis suggests changing pressure from 28.65/974.4 to 28.95/983.6
1923,01,20: 1ft soil temp suspect
1923,01,26: max temp changed from 450 to 475
1923,01,29: 1ft and 2ft temps suspect; NCEP analyses suggest 30.5 is wrong and 30.0 is better for pressure
1923,01,30: min temp changed from 446 to 415
1923,02,15: grass min changed from 361 to 311
1923,02,20: H/T dates from monthly report; register is misleading
1923,02,28: NCEP suggests pressure too high, changed from 29.404/999.8 to 29.204/993.1
1923,03,21: min temp changed from 395 to 380
1923,04,11: grass min is high - maybe occurred in sunshine yesterday?
1923,04,15: hail not mentioned in monthly report but 'h' in register with convective cloud
1923,05,30: day described as cold like the days before and after; max temp changed from 650 to 550
1923,07,04: 2ft soil temp changed from 645 to 595
1923,07,07: estimated mi temp based on nearby sites
1923,07,25: min temp changed from 615 to 565 cf other sites; register questions to 615
1923,08,06: NCEP pressure analysis suggests changing from 30.36/1030.4 to 30.036/1020.4
1923,09,01: *threatening thunder* was only reference found to one thunder day this month
1923,10,04: a large fall in temp at 1ft marked in register but not sure the reason
1923,10,24: use 28984 instead of 29984 in register for mslp cf ncep analyses
1923,11,09: min temp changed from 305 to 256; NCEP analysis suggests changing pressure from 29.862/1015.2 to 29.562/1005.1
