They got a lot of historical data wrong.
For example:
Altnaharra; Scotland 1995 min. temp on weatherspark is -10°C.
Actually 30th December 1995 official reading -27.2°C but according to a friend, who has been there that day, it was -32.5°C.

Well HelipadR22 I think its a great find. Weather report bang on for today and yesterday in Glasgow. Since it is a relatively new site I'm sure some of its sources for historical data may have been taken from records that will conflict with others rather than the up to date ones from the wethaer stations it now links into. The fact that they have a few historical temperatures wrong from 15 years ago is neither here nor there. If you are going flying and feel that the tempreture from 15 years ago plays an important part then PM Spencer and he could perhaps check with his friend

your ministry of weather and things fine

Actually 30th December 1995 official reading -27.2°C
Your East anglia CRU

but according to a friend, who has been there that day, it was -32.5°C.
The real Mccoy

go figure, maybe the site is another spin job, please stop it before it gets down under, it'll be boiling by then.
