1783 CE

The additional deaths in Great Britain are among outdoor workers; the records show that the death rate in Bedfordshire, Lincolnshire, and the east coast is perhaps two or three times the normal rate.

It has been estimated that twenty-three thousand British people died from the poisoning.

The weather becomes very hot, causing severe thunderstorms with large hailstones that are reported to have killed cattle, until the haze dissipates in the autumn.
