HadUK-Grid

To create the long-running dataset, meteorological observations are interpolated onto a uniform grid to provide complete and consistent coverage across the UK.

The data sets cover the UK land area at 1km x 1km resolution as well as a range of other resolutions to allow for comparison with climate projections and area averages for countries, administrative regions and river basins.

The dataset spans the period from 1836 to present, but the start time is dependent on the climate variable and the temporal resolution. The grids are produced for daily, monthly, seasonal and annual timescales, as well as long term averages for a set of climatological reference periods.

Variables include air temperature (maximum, minimum and mean), precipitation, sunshine, mean sea level pressure, wind speed, relative humidity, vapour pressure, days of snow lying, and days of ground frost.
