MEDICAL TOPOGRAPHY OF MALVERN,

rather colder and dryer at Malvern than in London: south-west winds are a little warmer and more damp.

During summer the mean temperature of south-west winds, at Malvern, is about 2½° warmer than the temperature of north-east ones: and the same remark applies to London.

At this season the mean dew-point, at Malvern, of south-west winds, is about 2½° higher than the mean dew-point of north-east ones. In London the mean difference is very little more than 1½°.

North-east and south-west winds are each about 4° colder at Malvern than at London. North-east winds are about 2°, and south-west 1° dryer at Malvern than in London.

In autumn, the mean temperature of south-west winds, at Malvern, is 6½° higher than the mean temperature of north-east ones. The mean difference in London being 4°.

At this season the mean dew-point, at Malvern, of south-west winds, is something more than 7° higher than the mean dew-point of north-east ones. In London the mean difference is about 5°.

North-east winds, at this period, are about 2½° colder at Malvern than in London; whereas south-west winds are a little warmer. The former winds are still rather dryer at Malvern than in London; but south-west winds have an equal degree of dampness, or bring with them, at each place, the same mean quantity of vapour.

In the winter season, the mean temperature of south-west winds, at Malvern, is nearly 10° higher than the mean temperature of north-east ones; and there is the same difference in their mean temperatures at London.
