June update and a reminder to collect your monthly data.

 Following a week of record June temperatures for some, the temperatures for the coming week have returned to average, before a return of the heat as we move into July. 

In unprecedented times like these, observations from citizen scientists are more valuable than ever and we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to WOW not just over the last week but over the years.  

We are continuing to make progress towards a new data supply and hope to be able to share more news with you very soon. In the meantime, please be assured that your contributions through WOW will continue to benefit the Met Office right up until the site is decommissioned. In the upcoming month we are focusing our efforts on improving the security of the platform and investigating additional ways to share and communicate our plans with you. 

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   

 

Website update and reminder to collect your monthly data.

As we mentioned in our December update, the Met Office will be retiring the Weather Observations Website (WOW) later this year. As we move towards this retirement, please be assured that your contributions will continue to benefit the Met Office right up until the site is decommissioned. In the meantime, we are focusing our efforts on maintaining the security and stability of the platform, ensuring it remains a safe and reliable resource for all users during this transition period.  

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’ 

Next month, as part of our normal tender and renewal process, we will be updating the mapping provider that underpins some of the maps on the WOW website. While we expect this transition to be largely seamless, you may notice some small visual or functional changes. If you do encounter any technical issues, please provide us with any feedback so we can investigate these promptly. 

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