Abstract
LONDON. Royal Meteorological Society, December 16.—W. F. Stacey: The distribution of relative humidity in England and Wales. The author has prepared mean monthly and annual maps of relative humidity based on the 9 a.m. observations made at more than ninety stations during the ten years 1901–1910. An examination of these maps shows that in winter the air over the interior of the country is more moist than that over the coastal regions; that the minimum relative humidity occurs earlier in the year in the western parts of the country than in the eastern; that in summer the air over the interior of the country is drier than that over the coastal regions; and that the smallest range of humidity is found in the vest and the greatest in the interior towards the east. The distribution of temperature is the chief determining factor in the distribution of relative humidity; while sea influence, the direction and character of prevailing winds, the configuration of the country all have important effects on temperature, and therefore on relative humidity.
