Weather Notes

The page of weather data on this web site is taken from a small site near Tamworth, Staffordshire, UK. The Stevenson screen on the left contains some of my weather instruments. I make no claim for accuracy, as the data is collected as a hobby. It is placed on this Website for other people’s interest and amusement.

The data is collected at 9.00 on a weekday and 18.00 GMT.
