The rainfall observers

open access: yesWeather, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 414-418, December 2025.
Over the past three centuries, thousands of people across the British and Irish Isles have regularly recorded rainfall, often every day for decades. Their efforts allow us to reconstruct long‐term trends and variations in rainfall with high spatial detail for the whole of the UK since 1836, and longer for certain regions.
