I keep a kind of diary. I fill it in when I go to feed the birds. It’s kept in the shed. There isn’t much in it; whether or not it rained since I last wrote in the diary (there are quite a few times when there consecutive days where I have not filled the diary in). Minimum, current and maximum temperatures (I moved the thermometer in to the shed whilst the builders were about, so I doubt the validity of data over the last couple of months. I really must get it back outside. How much cloud in the part of the sky I can see, measured in 8ths. Not sure why the weathermen do that, must find out. Finally, the wind direction; using my weather stations wind vane and a very convenient neighbours flag, and force measured with the Beaufort scale, helped again by the neighbours flag.
I’ve bought a new diary (A5, week per view) for 2025. Strangely The Works wasn’t selling those this year, so I got it off Amazon. I’m quite excited at the prospect of getting the 2024 diary in and analysing the data, even if it isn’t wholly accurate.
