If anyone knows what the weather was like in London on 23 November
1660, it will be someone on this newsgroup.


.... Pepys also has, 3rd October ... 'rainy weather'.

" Great floods " were reported along the Thames Valley on the 11th
November(Old Style).(from London Weather); also, from the actual diary
.... 'very cold and foul and rainy weather'. The 'floods' commentary
owes nothing to Pepys but to independent contemporary records.

The following winter (DJF) was mild/wet, and taken with the notes
above, it is tempting to suggest that during the latter part of 1660 &
early 1661, the British Isles were experiencing highly zonal
conditions with frequent spells of rain and 'Atlantic/maritime'
conditions.

So, although I can't confirm that 23rd November was as described,
neither would I make any great fuss over the description.
