Additional data

Data required from stations other than those listed or from any other period of time may also be available. There is an extraction fee for these data. To enable us to provide a quote, a letter containing all the relevant information is required. The details needed are the dates, the elements (temperature, rainfall, etc.) and the location, together with the project title and the final qualification. A daytime contact telephone number would also be helpful in case of any problems with extracting the requested data.

The minimum charge for this service will be £25 + VAT at 17.5% (VAT not applicable to educational establishments).

Data for university students

University students should contact Academic research. Alternatively, you can find out more about Met Office archived data and services available to the research and academic community.

However, if only a small amount of data are required, university students are able to receive data from the Education Service, as detailed in the 'Available data' section above; this does not include 'Additional data'.
