(Compiled from the Registrar General's quarterly returns).
This precis is included as, undoubtedly weather conditions
exert an influence on death rates and sickness incidence. This
influence may be detected by a comparison of the monthly vital
statistics.
January.—The first half was cold and foggy ; the second half
mild, windy and wet. Snow and sleet occurred on a few days in
the middle of the month, but bright periods were frequent and
there was a pronounced excess of sunshine recorded in most
districts.
