They catch and carry the rainfall to reservoirs ; for the wells are few and poor , and there are no natural springs and no brooks . They say that the Bermuda climate is mild and equable , with never any snow or ice , and that one may be very comfortable in spring clothing the year round , there . We had delightful and decided summer weather in May , with a flaming sun that permitted the thinnest of raiment , and yet there was a constant breeze ; consequently we were never discomforted by heat . At four or five in the afternoon the mercury began to go down , and then it became necessary to change to thick garments . I went to St. George 's in the morning clothed in the thinnest of linen , and reached home at five in the afternoon with two overcoats on . The nights are said to be always cool and bracing . We had mosquito-nets , and the Reverend said the mosquitoes persecuted him a good deal .
