Interests:
Meteorological observations.
First started taking meteorological readings and keeping weather diaries in 1962.
Later, however, full-time shift-work in the Met Office and regular relocation meant this had to be given up as an amateur pursuit for a time. Resumed in Linlithgow in 1979. In 2002 acquired a state-of-the-art automatic weather station which transmits data at 10-minute intervals into a home PC where the information is archived and can be recovered in tabular or graphical form.
