On This Day- December 4th 1962
The last great London Smog lay thick over the capital. With an area of high pressure extending west from the Continent. It was dense with visibility 10 metres or less. All London buses, 5,000 of them, recalled to their garages. Thousands of cars were abandoned and after fog cleared 3,000 vehicles could not be started and called AA. Smoke and sulphur dioxide concentrations 10-14 times normal levels. Death rate increased markedly with an estimation of 1,000 deaths caused by the smog. The fog was quite shallow with hills higher than 100 metres in sunshine. Even in London the temperature stayed below freezing.
