The tables above show the following information. The station
location, number, File location.
The 30 year Rainfall averages from 1961 to present.
The 30 year Temperature averages from 1961 to present
The wind speed averages from 2000.
The final table shows the temperature definitions as used by the
met office. However forecasters may use the the terms “warm”,
“cold”, “mild”, in descriptive manner where necessary e.g Feeling
very cold in the northerly breeze or feeling milder than of late.
* Cold is used when a marked fall in temperature is expected
