5 July 2026: A number of changes will be made over the next two or three weeks to the Daily Weather Summary and Daily Climatic Data sections of AWN. Both areas will be different to normal for a few weeks from today as I work out the best way of dealing with new circumstances.

For a summary of the changes and the reasons for them, go here.

This yellow box will update as changes are made.

They are archived in the relevant day's Daily Weather Summary to help make it a more complete record of the day's events. Timeliness of the reports is entirely at the mercy of my available time so, for the most up-to-date information, make good use of my media links here.
