About the Author

My interest in the weather began in 1961 when I took over as observer at the school’s weather station at Matlock, Derbyshire. The severe winter of 1962/63 gave a boost to my enthusiasm, as I recorded temperatures down to -17 & observed snow lying continuously from Dec.19th until March 3rd Married life & a career in teaching saw us move to the Middlesbrough area—not only another spot suffering from sea fog but also some significant snowfalls in northerlies as well!! It was at this time that I joined the Climate Observers Link—a group of enthusiasts who exchange weather data each month. We were in London during the 1976 heatwave & in Lancashire for a number of years afterwards, including on the west coast at Southport during the early eighties. In 1998, I was lucky enough to spend a half-day at the BBC Weather Centre in London as guest of the then lead-presenter Helen Young which I still regard as the highlight point of my hobby. In 2003, we moved north to Grantown on Spey where I soon found myself working for the Met Office, manning their climate station which is notorious in the record books for being one of the coldest spots in Britain.
