UK Historic Weather is an independent website dedicated to preserving and exploring historical weather records from across the United Kingdom.
The site brings together long-term observational data from official weather stations to help illustrate how local weather patterns have changed over time. By focusing on historical records rather than forecasts, UK Historic Weather provides context, comparison, and insight into the UK’s varied climate history.
This project was created for educational and reference purposes. It is intended for:
All data is presented in a neutral, factual manner and is designed to be easy to explore through downloadable datasets and visual tools.
UK Historic Weather is maintained independently and is not affiliated with the UK Met Office or any other official organisation. Where official data sources are referenced, they are acknowledged appropriately.
The goal of the site is simple: to make historical UK weather data accessible, understandable, and useful.
UK Historic Weather is designed to help you explore historical weather data for locations across the United Kingdom.
Rather than providing live forecasts, the site focuses on long-term records that show how weather patterns have varied over months, years, and decades.
You can access historical weather records by visiting the Weather Data section. From there, you can:
Some pages focus on specific weather stations, while others present broader regional or national data.
The site also includes simple charting tools that allow you to visualise historical weather trends. These are intended to provide context and help identify long-term patterns rather than short-term conditions.
Occasionally, UK Historic Weather publishes feature articles that explore notable historical weather events, important weather stations, or broader climate themes. These articles are written to add context and explanation alongside the raw data.
All information is provided for educational and reference purposes only
Data accuracy depends on historical records and station availability
The site does not provide weather forecasts or safety advice
If you are unsure how to interpret any data, the charts and summaries are intended as a starting point rather than a definitive scientific analysis.
