Summary
Abstract:
The data resides in 2 books, 'The meteorological record Monthly results of observations made at the stations of the meteorological society, 1881-1894.' (C/de75 A1). These books contain tables of daily, monthly, and quarterly surface weather data for England from 1881-1894. Tables contain the following daily data, averaged individually: absolute maximum and minimum temperatures; absolute maximum ... and minimum total precipitation; total sunshine; and range of
temperatures. Tables contain the following monthly data, averaged individually:
mean pressure, temperature and wet bulb temperature, and cloudiness; mean
maximum and minimum temperature; absolute maximum and minimum sunshine; total
precipitation; total (given hour) sunshine; number of days with cloudiness,
precipitation, wind from various directions, and sunshine. Tables contain the
following quarterly data, averaged individually: mean pressure, temperature,
humidity, cloudiness, wind speed and dew point, and ozone; mean maximum and
minimum temperature; absolute maximum and minimum temperature; number of days
with precipitation, cloudiness and clear sky; and range of temperature.
The Royal Meteorological Society Climatology resides in 1 book, 'Royal
Meteorological Society English Climatology (1881-1900)' (C/de 100 B35). This
book contains tables of monthly and annual surface weather data for England
from 1881-1900. Tables contain the following monthly data, determined for a
period: mean temperature, humidity, cloudiness, and precipitation; mean maximum
and minimum temperature; and number of days with precipitation. Tables contain
the following annual data, determined for a period: mean temperature, humidity,
cloudiness and precipitation; mean maximum and minimum temperature; and number
of days with precipitation.

annual data, determined individually for mean temperature (1760-1925) and total
precipitation (1760-1925).
The data resides in 1 book, 'Tables and Diagrams Illustrating the Diurnal Range
of Barometric Pressure in the British Isles (1876-1880)' (C/de 100 B35). This
book contains tables and graphs of hourly, monthly, and annual surface pressure
data for England during the years 1876-1880. The tables contain hourly data,
determined individually for pressure readings. The tables contain monthly data,
determined individually for mean pressure and range of pressure. The tables
contain annual data, determined individually for mean pressure. The graphs
contain annual data, determined individually for mean diurnal variation of the
barometer at various stations.
The data resides in 2 books, 'Howard's Papers on Meteorology Communicated to
the Royal Society England (1815-1850)' (C/de 100 H84). In these summaries,
definitions are:
1. Hourly/daily/monthly/seasonal/annual data - values determined for each
consecutive period, e.g., monthly temperature data: Jan 1900, Feb 1900, etc.
2. Long-term data - values determined over a period of years, e.g., long-term
monthly temperature data using Jan 1900, Jan 1901, etc.
These books contain tables of weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual surface
weather data for England from 1815 to 1850. Tables contain the following data:
weekly mean temperature; weekly total precipitation; monthly mean pressure and
temperature; monthly absolute maximum and minimum temperature; monthly total
precipitation; quarterly mean pressure and temperature; quarterly total
precipitation; annual mean pressure, temperature, and precipitation; and annual
absolute maximum and minimum temperature.
The data resides in 1 book, 'Glasspole on the Areas Covered by Intense and
Widespread Rain (1898-1928)' (C/de100 G549d). In these summaries, definitions

day precipitation intensities in England from 1898 to 1928. The graphs contain
the following data: Hourly intensity of rainfall versus size of area
experiencing certain intensities for four individual storms in 1898, 1908,
1912, and 1924; and Long-term one, two, and six day intensity of rainfall versus
size of area experiencing certain intensities.

These books are part of the foreign meteorological data collection held by the
NOAA Central Library in Washington, DC. Information in this collection dates
back to the 18th century for daily, monthly, seasonal, and annual tabular
summaries, and the 19th century for weather maps. These data are the result of
foreign exchange agreements, but the collection has not been updated since
1983.
