“The Climate of Eastern England 1250-1350
The many chroniclers of Eastern Europe were very clear that there were four climatic periods in the century 1250-1350 — a wet period, interspersed with summer droughts in 1250-72; a warm and dry period from the summer of 1272 to the autumn of 1289; a forty-year period of unparalleled wet and misery from the poor harvest of 1289 to the good harvest of 1326; and a period of less inclement weather from 1326 to 1350.” http://www.jstor.org/pss/40274333
