80 Years of Climatology at the Top of New England
2016-11-29 13:36:27.000 – Tom Padham, Weather Observer/Meteorologist
With over 80 years of history in weather observation at the summit, the Mount Washington Observatory has not only provided valuable real-time data for weather prediction and forecasting, but also provides an important record of the longer term climate of this very unique place. I’m happy to announce our 80 year annual temperature record, from 1935-2015, is now available for public view here on our website!
This record is a testament to the diligence and perseverance of the observatory crew through 80 years of witnessing and recording some of the most incredible weather on earth. Besides our dedicated staff, none of our work would be possible without the support of many generous people through the years. Thank you for your support and here’s to many more years to come!
