Hi, Ian,

I got the inspector to look at the site and instruments down there
last year and I include the reports to the Met O occasionally but they
are not particularly interested. They even disregarded the site at
Redhill Airfield because it was too extreme so what chance Copley! I
found it fascinating at Redhill, Chipstead Valley, Rickmansworth etc.
People live in these areas, so why not report their weather?


And even if people *don't* live there as long as the instuments
are correctly exposed then they are still valid readings.
They may not be representative of the general area either but
so what, neither is Caingorm representative of the the Scottish
Highlands as a whole, being an extreme site.
