Severe weather in Britain
My pages on severe weather events in Britain and the British weather in general regularly gather a great deal of interest. The site was mostly written many years ago, but is still usually updated at least once a monthly. One day perhaps I’ll move it all over here and make it look better and more modern, but for now the pages can be found at this clickable link:

The project started out as my attempt to keep track of the most severe weather events in Britain in the twentieth century, but grew over time to be a fairly complete record of the weather in Britain. So in those pages, in addition to information about severe weather events in Britain, you can find out something about the weather in most months since 1900 - and a few before, and something about my own weather station and weather observations. But mainly - want to know what the weather was like in April 1984? Want to know the coldest temperature recorded in Wales in November? Want to find out what was that snowy day you remember when you couldn’t go to school in late 1968? Want to know what was so special about the winter of 1890, the great freeze of 1962-63, or the summer of 1976, or why 1947 was the best year ever for weather? Then these pages are for you.
Here is a live link to my Lundie weather station, although I’m still working on the details, appearance, automatic updating, and why it keeps saying error ... For the moment it is best to link to it through this current page as the name might change.
Psychology and the weather
As far as I know I am the world’s only psychometeorologist - working at the intersection of psychology and the weather. I am carrying out research into our memory for weather forecasts, for the weather itself, and why so many people are interested in the weather. See my publications page for the work published so far.
