“…since records began” – Christopher Wren’s first automatic weather station

We restart the weekly blog with a contribution from Professor Giles Harrison. With the blog being down over the summer, Giles‘ contribution was posted on Professor Maarten Ambaum’s excellent blog, where we direct readers until regular service resumes next week.
