#ArmaghObservatory: 230 years of unbroken #weather recordings
The unbroken tradition of handwritten data makes it the longest sequence of continuous weather information gathered anywhere in the #UK and #Ireland.
Nowadays, most weather data is gathered only by automated weather stations, but not in #Armagh, where the human touch remains.
The first handwritten recording was made on evening of 14 July 1795, when a measurement of the temperature and air pressure was recorded.
