Website With Detailed Weather Diaries Found!

[Lauren]

Found this website which has weather diaries from almost 15 years ago. It gives detailed daily summaries of the weather for each day of each month for different years. This one is 1999, but just type in the year you want and it should come up (not sure it goes back further than1999).

It's painfully apparent thunderstorms were much more in abundanc back then.

Yeah it's the Reading Uni site, they use some of the extracts to go alongside some case studies we do, quite interesting

Roger is a marvel at amassing data from an enormous data source, join COL to see even more.

I should also add totally reliable as well-no hype.

Didn't know it was so well known!

I've had a look back at some of my thunderstorm diaries from when i was a kid and they match pretty closely with his stuff.

As I've said it is painfully apparent that thunderstorms have become more of a rariety over the past decade.
