I've been having a play at displaying the Met Office historic data for my region - NW England and N Wales - and comparing it to my station data.
It's still a work in progress (like everything!) but what do you think?

Nice one Mark, are you going to make this available to download at some point?

Re: Met Office Regional Data
All the source should be viewable - no support on this one though. You can work out the regional data table structure I think!

Re: Met Office Regional Data
You can get a fair bit of data through their datapoint API. It's generated with public money so will always be free.beteljuice wrote: ↑Sun 25 Nov 2018 7:01 pm the Met Office giving away free data

Re: Met Office Regional Data
This is brilliant - nice work, Mark!
I presume daydata is my Dayfile?
I presume you manually made the regional table and added in the data? Did it take long?

Re: Met Office Regional Data
I cut and paste the data from the PDF into an Excel workbook (a sheet per data type), then "text to columns", then convert to table (and named each one)
I then added a summary sheet, and created a new table to list a year/month per row, with each dataset as a column.
Once you have that it is simple to insert into SQL using the bulk import CSV data feature - just make sure your columns are in the same order as the SQL table.
