Hadley Centre Central England Temperature (HadCET) dataset, Monthly Mean Central England Temperature (Degrees C)

Description

The CET dataset is the longest instrumental record of temperature in the world. It contains the mean monthly surface air temperatures (in degrees Celsius) from the year 1659 to the present. These monthly temperatures are representative of a roughly triangular area of the United Kingdom enclosed by Lancashire, London and Bristol. Manley (1953, 1974) compiled most of the monthly series, covering 1659 to 1973. These data were updated to 1991 by Parker et al (1992). It is now kept up to date by the Climate Data Monitoring section of the Hadley Centre, Met Office.

Usage

Format

A numeric vector of length 359.

Details

Since 1974 the data have been adjusted to allow for urban warming: currently a correction of -0.2 C is applied to mean temperatures. CET datasets are freely available for use under Open Government License.
