UK and area Daily Weather Report / Daily Weather Summary

I came across this resource when doing some research.
The UK Met Office has digitized all their daily weather reports and made them available for free online:
https://digital.nmla.metoffice.gov.u...-5698d0bd7e13/

Good for researching weather conditions during WW2 around the British Isles.

Re: UK and area Daily Weather Report / Daily Weather Summary

The link identified in April 2018 no longer appears to work.

As of this morning, the link to the Met Office digital library and archive index for the period 1940-1959 is at https://digital.nmla.metoffice.gov.u...6-a7d8c3eceb84

This page links to individual years, e.g. this is the 1944 reports:

https://digital.nmla.metoffice.gov.u...-0f50de991118/

And this is February 1944 (a particular interest for me for my ongoing work on Steinbock): https://digital.nmla.metoffice.gov.u...-d065701b351e/

All this is probably common knowledge to members of this forum but I spent an hour this morning finding it out for myself - I should have done a TOCH forum search first, shouldn't I (rather than finding this thread afterwards)?! And I agree this stuff is pure gold for establishing the weather conditions in which Luftwaffe operations over the UK actually took place.

Updated link offered for what it's worth.

Simon
