Bronte Weather Project

From Bronte weather: 

I've finished reading the selected collection of Charlotte's letters (a total of 169 letters).

They have revealed a fascinating insight in to Charlotte's life and i've really enjoyed reading them while finding references to the weather.

There are a few references amongst the letters with the majority connecting weather conditions with health and death:

"Anne was worse during the warm weather we had about a week ago - she grew weaker and both the pain in her side and her cough were worse - strange to say since it is colder, she has appeared rather to revive than sink. I still hope that if she gets over May she may last a long time"

Letter to Ellen Nussey, c. 12 and 14th May 1849
