Rainfall Statistics

[dbozkurt]

Hi there

Does anybody know where you can get rain statistics that is not going to cost me £250 a shot. I tried the Met Office unless I wanted it for a school project thats what it was going to cost me.

What I would like is historical data for Benbecula and Stornoway and current data. The weather is very wet up here the last couple of months and since I can not get out much with my camera because of the weather and the dark, I need something else as a hobby and I also love the weather.

I once did this in Surrey where I used to live but our local water company kept daily rainfall figures on the internet.

Somebody suggested SEPA, any other thoughts.

Thanking you inadvance

Debbie

if you read my post above you will see that you already have the benbecula data

Sorry eeyore but I think the information quoted in the website was the average rainfall in mm, as its already showing figures for November and December, I also checked against another site and certainly it was quite dry in the islands for July and August. I have found the link very helpful though and my other half actually works at Benbecula Airport so I might see if he can obtain any figures from the tower. I have found when trying to find data personal weather stations on line very confusing as they are not so well controlled as met office data stations, but I think Benbecula Airport is regulated by the met.

Thanks again
