Fri 18 Sept 2026: All Daily Weather Summaries since subscription data ceased on 7 July have now been created and daily records are being produced again.

In the next few days, the map panels in the DWS will progressively populate, and I will then begin the lengthy task of checking records and evaluating whether their production is worthwhile and possible given my limited time.

The Daily Climatic Data sheets will resume late today and return to routine updating tomorrow. The archives for July and August will also be created over the next few days.

For more information on the changes and the reasons for them, go here.

This yellow box will update as further changes are made.

The reports here summarise weather events and climate news, including a round-up of their media coverage. 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.
