Abstract:
Daily measurements form a long-term record of historical weather conditions. In contrast, hourly measurements allow the analysis of current weather systems with hourly resolution.
The daily data is available from UK stations in 110 UK counties over the period 1853 to present and is updated weekly.
The hourly data is for now available from stations in 110 UK counties back to 1983. But the BADC intend to progressively retrieve Met. Office hourly data back to 1900 to produce a new consistent unique dataset of land surface observations. In the mean time, the BADC has made available a searchable UKMO stations catalogue.
