Help! Aug - Oct 08

[Harry]

Hi all

Bizarrely, I have been asked at work to find any archive storm data, relating to strong winds which may have occurred between August and October last year, for around the Woodford area. It revolves around a damaged roof and I need to find stats which will prove wind was the likely factor (blah blah blah)

Does anyone around the London/SE area have any dates from around this period when strong winds/storms occurred?

Cheers in advance

Hi Harry,

Sorry I can't help you directly but you could try one or more of the following:

Search the ESTOFEX archive and look at the storm forecasts for the SE: http://estofex.org/cgi-bin/polygon/showforecast.cgi?list=yes&all=yes

Search the Southweather Forum Archive with daily extremes and various charts which have been saved each day since 11th Sept 2008: http://southweatherforum.com/viewforum.php?f=45

hope that helps

You could try searching weather underground.

Use the link below and on the right (Select a Location) type London, you will find some stations there, click on the area nearest and you will see a window with the station in blue, click that then you will get to the data area, use the 'weather station history' section to find what your looking for.

Hope this is of some help.

This might be of use too. Data from CWOP / ARPS

Many stations are listed on the link:

Same rules as my first post, look for the station history.
