Synopsis
Excerpt from Madeira Meteorologic: Being a Paper on the Above Subject Read Before the Royal Society, Edinburgh, on the 1st of May 1882
Hence, by the time that we were running along the coast of Portugal, and nearly crossing the parallel of Lisbon, the proverbial laziness Of warm climates began to manifest itself amongst the once active young gentle men on board; who now did little else than lounge at full length on all varieties Of triple and quadruple easy chairs, and complain of the splendid sunshine.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical and meteorological analysis of the unique climate of the island of Madeira. As a steppingstone for invalids seeking relief from their ailments in a healthy climate, the island of Madeira and its weather have been the subject of increasing curiosity since the beginning of the 19th Century, yet many of the island's unusual atmospheric phenomena remain unexplained. The author, an experienced astronomer, meteorologist, and traveler, spent the summer of 1881 observing the island's cloud formations, humidity, vapor, temperature, wind, and rain, providing comprehensive tables of data in his analysis. Beyond a detailed comparison of Madeira's climate to that of Lisbon, Jerusalem, and Scotland, the author also tackles many questions on the meteorological uniqueness of the island. The book concludes that Madeira's anomalous weather patterns are a result of its geographical position and unique geological features, which trap a warm ocean current that significantly increases the island's humidity and cloud cover, thereby moderating the range of both daily and seasonal temperature and leading to a remarkably equable climate unlike any other in the world.
