September Update and reminder to collect your monthly data

 

For those of us in the UK, and Europe more generally, temperatures have remained unseasonably warm this month. We’re making excellent progress on testing the new data that will replace WOW. Although the process has not been easy, the integration of thousands of new observation sites will see an improvement to our short-range forecasting capabilities in the new year.  
  
October is looking to be a month of real change, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates from us throughout the month.  
  
In the meantime, please be assured that your contributions will continue to benefit the Met Office right up until the site is decommissioned. In the month ahead we’re going to be focussing on plans for the end of WOW – the nitty gritty, technical details.  

As this month ends, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you to download any monthly data you may wish to retain. You can export up to 31 days of data via the website by following these instructions:   

• Choose your site   

• Select ‘View Full Observation’ at the bottom of the right hand panel   

• Select table and enter the dates   

• Press ‘Export’   

Thank you for being part of the WOW community and for your ongoing support   

August update and reminder to collect your monthly data

As we've just moved into meteorological Autumn, we are starting to see some more unsettled weather with bands of rain, heavy showers and thunderstorms, bringing some welcome rainfall for areas that have seen very little over the last few months.  

And as we move towards the decommissioning of WOW later this year, we are approaching another milestone in the transition to our new data supply. Please be assured that your contributions will continue to benefit the Met Office until the site is decommissioned. In the month ahead we will be focussing on sharing information with the broader academic community and running internal testing of the new data supply system. 

As always, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you to download any monthly data you may wish to retain. You can export up to 31 days of data via the website by following these instructions:  

• Choose your site  

• Select ‘View Full Observation’ at the bottom of the right hand panel  

• Select table and enter the dates  

• Press ‘Export’
