Last year we went to Devon just north of Tiverton. While out on a
walk I did a detour and found Liscombe (03710) at 348m.

This year we're heading to the Peaks but I can't find an official
weather station up there, which surprises me, especially given the
size of the area. Skipton used to report, although that is not
particularily high up. Is there one up there that I've missed?

Mustn't forget Norman's at Tideswell of course :-)

The nearest one is Leek Thorncliffe (03330) which is NE of Leek, in
Staffordshire. It's at about 300m but often isn't particularly
representative of conditions in the Peak District National Park. I've
been sending OBS to the Met Office for the past 10 years. They are very
appreciative because the National Park is something of a 'black hole'
in the official observing network.

Just back in from the early shift and I see lots of replies ~ many thanks to everyone.

I've just found Leek Thorncliffe on google maps street view:



Sorry for the long link :-)

I'll also have a look at the Buxton data later + we intend to go to Chatsworth, must be a bout 15 years since we last went there. Keep beat these gardeners for keeping weather records ;-)

Rain at last today in Southend-on-Sea, I'm currently 7.6mm and it's still raining.

The Chatsworth met site is still there, in the same place as I last saw it in (in 1981!).

This link may work....




I find the selection of sites in CEDA rather limited - and often the years are incomplete, as if the data was only uploaded for a specific purpose sometimes. But still a great advance from the days of MO Commercial Services controlling everything.

Thanks Julian.
