Your day as the forecaster saw it: the highs, the lows and the rain moving through.
The day
Any day from 1 January 1940 to about a week ago
The place
The town, then the county or country. We print exactly the place you give.
Title (optional)
Ideas: Tom and Priya, Our wedding day, The day we moved into Willow Cottage
What you get: An unframed print on heavyweight 240 gsm matte fine art paper, A3 (297 x 420 mm) or A2 (420 x 594 mm), usually sent rolled in a tube. Made to order for you. You give the date, the place and a title. Small maps of the pressure, the wind, the temperature, and the cloud and rain, at midnight, 06:00, noon and 18:00 local time, with your place ringed. The preview on this page shows your words, dates and layout; where it is marked sample weather, the weather drawn in it is an example until we make your print.
Four moments through the day, at midnight, 06:00, noon and 18:00 local time, each drawn as a set of small maps. Pressure with its isobars, the wind and its flow, temperature, and cloud with the rain over it, as a radar would show it. A ring marks your place.
Sixteen maps of one day, each drawn and checked for your place, which is why it costs a little more than a single-day print.
- Any day from 1 January 1940 up to about a week ago
- Anywhere in the world
- Eight colourways
Made just for you, so it cannot be returned for a change of mind, or cancelled once we have started making it (contact us straight away if you need to). If it arrives faulty or damaged, we will replace it or refund you in full.
Where the weather comes from
The weather is ERA5, a reanalysis from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. It estimates the weather for squares about 28 km across, so it describes the area around your place, not one garden. Dates before about 1950, and places far from weather stations, rest mostly on the model with few observations behind them. The examples shown are made up. Data: ERA5, ECMWF (Copernicus Climate Change Service), CC BY 4.0. Credits are printed on every sheet.
