Volunteers are being sought to help record weather statistics in Tenby.

The Met Office is the United Kingdom's National Met. Service and is responsible for the provision of climate and weather forecasting services in the UK.

One of their roles is to gather and collate the National Archive for Climate which they hold for use by the people of the UK.

One of the sources for data that goes into the archive is the voluntary climate observing network.

This is a network of manually read stations throughout the UK where volunteers take daily climate readings and report them to the Meteorological Office.

The Tenby station was originally established in 1892 and has been providing data to the Met Office ever since.

They are currently looking for a small band of volunteer observers who would be willing to give some time to take these readings on behalf of the Met Office and the county council for the Tenby weather station.

The Met Office is looking for volunteers to do readings one or two days a week on a rota with the other observers.

The people they are looking for would preferably have an interest in weather, and be able to spare approximately five-10 minutes to take the actual readings in Tenby at around 0900 GMT a couple of days a week. Travel to and from the station would be additional to the time to take the readings.

The station is an easy walk from the town centre or parking is available at the site.

Training and full support will be provided. They would like some people in the group to be able to use the internet, but if you are unable to do this, please do not be put off.
