Historical weather charts

For anyone interested in historical weather charts covering the British
Isles
and mainland Europe there's a veritable gold mine at
http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/data_rescue_home.html
On the list of countries click on Germany and you'll then be presented
with a
clickable list of files covering the period 1896-1975. These files are the
European Weather Report, prepared by Deutscher Wetterdienst and are the
equivalent of the UK Met Office Daily Weather Report. Many of the charts
give a
lot of detail over the British Isles, including plotted observations. It's
quite addictive looking back over notable events of the past, such as the
winters of 1947 and 1963. A word of warning, though - the files are very
large
so only suitable for a broadband connection.
Thanks for the link. I haven't investigated in detail yet, but I imagine
that the data over the UK will be a bit lacking between 1939 and 1945.
