Seite 151 - The mean annual range of temperature is only 14°, being less than half the range of Rome, Pisa, Naples, and Nice. The heat is also distributed through the year with surprising equality, so that the mean difference of the temperature of successive months is only 2°.41 : this at Rome is 4°.39, at Nice 4°.74, at Pisa 5°.75, and at Naples 5°.08.

Seite 153 - It is as aw inter climate that Madeira is sought by invalids, and certainly no district or country can be found which, for dryness and moderate warmth combined, presents so many advantages. There is scarcely a day on which an invalid need be kept within doors during the whole 24 hours on account of rain ; the sun is rarely too warm for exercise in the open air ; and with an overcoat the cold is never uncomfortable. It would be difficult to find a climate within the reach of European or American invalids...
Seite 151 - Provengal provinces. This very moderate mean temperature, relatively to its low latitude, arises, however, from the summer at Madeira being proportionally cool ; for while the winter is 20° warmer than at London, the summer is only 7° warmer ; and whilst the winter is 12° warmer than in Italy and Provence, the summer is nearly 5° cooler.
