Durham Weather

I have been observing the weather ever since the hot summers of 1975 & 1976. I started recording it in a little notebook whilst still at school in Ferryhill. Since then, i’ve continued to maintain my weather records, although several moves of house (now settled in Durham City) and a trip to college had made them a little sporadic in the 90’s, but they are more stable now.

In the 90’s I befriended Helen Goldie and later Professor Tim Burt who ran Durham University Weather Station at Potters Bank to the South West of Durham City (an official Met Office Weather reporting site) and began comparing weather observations.

I now run Durham Weather in Gilesgate, Durham City
