A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE CLIMATES OF 

 , GREAT MALVERN AND LONDON. 



In the second volume of " The Analyst," p. 215, is the commence- 

 ment of a paper on "A Comparison between the Climates of 

 Great Malvern and London ;" this paper includes the several 

 details of the temperature, atmospheric pressure, dew point, wind, 

 rain, &c., for each month during the summer and autumnal quar- 

 ters of the year 1834. The present communication embraces the 

 winter and spring of 1834 and 35, with a comparative summary of 

 the important meteorological phenomena for the year, — and is con- 

 cluded with such general remarks, as the comparison has suggested. 

 Jt will be seen, by referring to the former paper in '^ The Analyst" 

 that every attention has been paid to the excellence of the instru- 

 ments by which it has been carried on, and every care has been 

 taken to insure accuracy in the result. 



TEMPERATURE. 



In the month of December, 1834, the first month of the 

 winter quarter, the mean temperature of Malvern was 1° 

 higher than the mean temperature of London. The mean 

 maximum at Malvern was 45.8°, the mean minimum 39.6° ; 

 in London the mean maximum 45.6®, the mean minimum 

 38.1°. The maximum height of the thermometer during 

 the month was, in London, 54°, in Malvern, 55° ; the mini- 

 mun in London, 29.2°; in Malvern, 32. The greatest range 

 during the month in London, 24.8°, at IMalvern, 23. 



In January, (1835), the second month of the winter quar- 

 ter, the mean temperature at Malvern was half a degree 

 lower than the mean temperature in London. The mean 

 maximum at Malvern was 42.1°, the mean minimum, 35.1°; 

 the mean maximum in London, 43.1°, the mean minimum, 

 35.3°. In London the greatest height of the thermometer 

 was 49.7°j in Malvern, 52.5° ; the minimum in London, 

 24.9° ; in Malvern, 23.° The range of the thermometer in 

 London, during the month, 24.8°, in Malvern, 29.5°.
