First Published in 1965, The Climate of London considers the nature of London’s climate, including the manner and degree to which this varies in sympathy with changes in the city's morphology, and studying in particular the contrasts between the built-up area and the surrounding rural districts. The variety of records used in this study makes it impossible to use a common period of analysis. Rather has it been the aim to use data for as long as recent a period as possible for studying the climate of the London region.
It discusses various important themes like atmospheric pollution, pressure and weather types, evaporation and humidity, radiation and sunshine, climatic regions of London and consequences of an urban climate. In an era when we are facing the real threat of climate change, this book is a useful historical reference work for students of geography, environmental studies, and sustainable development.
