HC Deb 10 February 1937 vol 320 c391
32. Mr. Markham

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that no reliable maps showing relative humidity are available for Great Britain; and whether, in view of the paucity of information available and the value of such information if available, he will cause such maps to be made?

The Under-Secretary of State for Air (Sir Philip Sassoon)

The Meteorological Office is at present engaged upon up-to-date computations of average weather statistics. The computations in respect of relative humidity will be undertaken shortly, and it is intended to issue maps as soon as practicable. In the meantime, the Meteorological Office will be found ready to furnish replies to specific inquiries relating to humidity.

Mr. Markham

Could not the process of compiling these maps be hastened, since this is one of the few civilised countries of the world that have not such maps?

Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon

Is there any country more humid than this?
