You may have noticed the two new links that have appeared at the top of the WOW Blog. These may be of particular interest to UK weather
observers and enthusiasts, we hope you will find both interesting and
useful;-
Daily Weather Summary
As the name suggests 'Daily
Weather Summary' holds daily weather summaries from 1860 up to current day.
Note these are a monthly publication and are usually available on the website
around 6 weeks after the end of every month.
Each summary provides an overview
of the weather conditions across the UK for each day based on observations from
the network of Met Office synoptic and climate stations, including from our
official network of Voluntary Climate sites. Each day includes a table of daily
extremes for the UK for key climate variables including temperature, rainfall,
sunshine and gust speeds.
UK Climate Maps and Data
Here you will find a host of
fascinating information relating to the UK climate, again all reliant on our
network of official observing sites including Voluntary Climate sites, some of
which have been recording weather information on behalf of the Met Office for
in excess of 100 years. A particular highlight here is the UK Actual and
Anomaly Maps section which takes you to a collection of gridded maps derived
from Met Office and official Voluntary Climate site data which is interpolated
to provide coverage across the UK of up to 1kmx1km resolution. Maps are
available for daily, monthly, seasonal and annual
timescales, as well as long term averages.
For more information about how the data from our Voluntary Climate Network, usually submitted through WOW, is used please see this blog post.
