Description
The British Weather
These pages contain information about one of my favourite interests, the British weather. They contain information about my own weather station (which was located between Perth and Dundee in East Scotland, in Pitroddie from 1996 to 2003, and in Lundie from then on), and my own weather records. In particular, these pages contain information about extreme weather events in Britain, and a record of the British weather since 1900 (and a few notable events before that). Want to know if some interesting weather happened in March 1962? Or which was the hottest day of 1983? Then read on! The pages also contain links to other weather sites, and much, much more.
A personal introduction
Few things fascinate people more than the weather. I have always been interested in the British weather - particularly in extreme weather events. My first weather memories are of thunderstorms, in the London area in 1961 or 1962. Another very early weather memory is making a snowman in the winter of 1962-63 - I've no idea exactly when, as I wasn't even five at the time, but I suspect it was soon after Christmas, 1962. I am currently awaiting another exceptional winter: so far Scotland has disappointed, although 2000-01 was pretty good.
The British Isles are one of the most interesting places in the world in which to live for exciting weather. The weather is particularly unpredictable here. The Gulf Stream keeps us much warmer than we should be for our latitude (look at places at similar latitude on the east coast of America, for example). We live in the battleground where maritime and continental weather often fight. I'm at my happiest when the continental weather wins: that's when we see the extremes of summer heat and winter cold.
