We are situated in North Oxford. To our west is bustling 
Summertown with shops and residentual use and the headquarters 
of OXFAM.  To our east is open country.  Our school fields stretch 
for some 60 acres to the River Cherwell, a tributary of the Thames. 
Beyond are water meadows and grazing land.
 
Recording time 08.00 GMT
 
Observations made at our weather station, just to the south of the 
main building.
 
Instruments kept in a Stevenson screen: a digital thermometer and 
hygrometer. A rain gauge just away from it.  A hand-held 
anenometer will be used.
 
At this time of year, it is generally cold - below
10€C - and either frosty and still if pressure is high, or rainy and 
windy with low pressures.
