Amateur meteorologist Luke Howard had a life-long fascination with studying the weather. His passion was sparked by the summer haze of 1783, caused by a volcano eruption in Iceland. Based on Howard’s meticulous long-term observations, The Climate of London broke new ground. It was the first study to document the effect of air pollution on urban climate.
