Putting back the clocks
With the clocks revering back to GMT at 0100hr on Sunday, I have a
question for those of you with AWS recording systems. What do you do with the extra hour's weather observation? If a reading is taken at 0100hr BST, is there another reading taken at 0100hrGMT? If so what happens to the hour in between? Just wondered Steve J |

Steve ... for those sites with AWSs that I'm responsible for, I disable the "daylight saving" option so that it records GMT throughout the year. I also transfer the data to a spreadsheet so that I can calculate extreme temperatures, rainfall, etc, for the climatological (09-09) day. I'd certainly advise and recommend doing the same to anyone else with an AWS. Philip |

Just wondered Steve J Steve, I have a Davis Monitor II and I leave the time unchanged at gmt, I never get any problems with Weather Underground or the like either. So no changes required to it Saturday night. -- Keith (Southend) http://www.southendweather.net e-mail: kreh at southendweather dot net |

My AWS runs on GMT/UTC all year round, which is standard practice for observation timing, as far as I know. -- Duncan |

Operational meteorology runs to the GMT clock, not the BST one in summer. Norman -- Norman Lynagh Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire 85m a.s.l. (remove "thisbit" twice to e-mail) |

I must be dumb, but this had never occurred to me before, so I have amended the settings accordingly!!! -- David Mitchell, 70m amsl, Langtoft, East Riding of Yorkshire. |
