From the 1840's, no less. I had no idea there even *were* any
records kept for here, back then!

They cover temperature, pressure & rainfall.

Someone I know was researching in the local library, and spotted
them in an old magazine.

I'll have to check to see exactly what period they cover.


.... you lucky boy! You'll have your work cut out reconciling them, but
the exercise will be fascinating. All sorts of ideas about how such
were measured then - including putting thermometers in un-heated
rooms, open to the outside & the rain gauge location/exposure will be
problematic too. Still, it'll keep you happy for many hours this
coming wet and windy winter :-)
