Calling all Irish weather and climate enthusiasts! 

Just a quick post to share an opportunity to get involved in a bit of Citizen Science. The inestimable Zooniverse has teamed up with Met Éireann, the Irish National Meteorological Service, in a project called Irish Weather Rescue. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help digitize historical weather records that currently only exist on paper. Currently only a few percent of the available records have been digitised.

The project aims to provide access to valuable data that will improve our understanding of how rainfall patterns have changed over longer timescales and provide context for the changes we see in our current climate and possible future climate. Met Éireann’s archive contains an extensive collection of historical weather observations that include meteorological registers, rainfall registers, climatological reports, weather diaries, monthly weather bulletins and maps. These handwritten paper records are at risk of being lost due to the vulnerability of the original paper documents. By creating a digital copy of these records and extracting the data contained in them we can use the data to monitor climate variability and change, support effective climate risk management and improve climate model projections.
