INTRODUCTION

Knowing the local weather and being able to refer to past records is a usefull exercise for planning gardening or if to go out for a walk. It is always an issue of perception as to what the weather was like last year or years previously and with the current debate of climate change interest in the weather has grown.

This is an introduction to the weather station and some of the features of how to access the live and historical records.
