Climate summary

Monthly averages and extremes at a specific station are produced for a 10-day period using archived Met Office data.

The annual summary presents a total or average (as appropriate) of each element, including dates and times of maximum and minimum amounts.

These estimates are formulated from a combination of data from station observations.
