The weather as the stations reported it, plotted the way forecasters once did it by hand. This chart shows the United Kingdom at 12:00 GMT on 3 July 1976, in a summer of heatwave and drought.
- At each station: temperature, dew point, pressure, cloud, wind and present weather
- Isobars drawn over them in pen
- Light, Dark, or three bright colourways
Where the weather comes from
Met Office MIDAS Open hourly observations via CEDA (Open Government Licence), isobars from ERA5. Only the stations that reported at that hour are plotted, so older dates have fewer. Credits are printed on every sheet.
