This week on the #DRAWMcGill #blog, we’re returning to the Dawson-Harrington fonds and exploring an especially remarkable #WeatherObservation made by Lady Dawson in 1885! Read it here: citsci.geog.mcgill.ca/en/con… 🌪💦

We recently featured in this lovely article from @wdytyamagazine about exploring #climhist while exploring your family tree...
Earlier this month, ACRE leader Rob Allan (@metoffice) launched the @SPFDigiEnv webinar series on data digitisation, rescue and re-purposing. Catch up on his presentation, and others in the series at digitalenvironment.org/cde-w… @NERCscience

Today is #WorldMetDay and we had a look into our archive @DWD_klima: Historic weather observations from a century ago: March, 1922. Station: Frankfurt, Germany. #ClimateData #DataRescue #WeatherData @met_acre @ed_hawkins

Feb. 25th, 1934:
Six tornadoes impacted Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, killing 19 people. An estimated F4 tornado damaged or destroyed 90 homes, many in Shady Grove, Alabama. In Lauderdale County, MS, one house was picked up, thrown 400 feet, and blown to bits.

DWD also works on the digitization of historic weather observations, which are available as hand-written documents in the archives of DWD. Here is an example from Cameroon: Hourly observations of the recording thermometer at station Buea in August 1913. #DataRescue @met_acre
The earliest known report of the ball lightning phenomenon in England was discovered.

REMINDER: if you find a stack of weather logbooks from the late 19th century in a shed, please don’t throw them in a skip. Phone your local, friendly meteorological service who will happily come and save them.

One week to go: You can still sign up for the discussion of my paper on #earthquakes and #timekeeping in #earlyAmerica between 1600 and 1800 at @MHS_Research's #envhist seminar on January 25, 5:15PM - 6:30PM (EST). masshist.org/events/earthqua…
On January 25, 17:15 EST, I'll be discussing a new paper on #earthquakes and #timekeeping in #vastEarlyAmerica between 1600 and 1800 at the @MHS1791's #envhist Seminar. It's based on research I conducted at the @JCBLibrary. masshist.org/events/earthqua…
Here's a graphical abstract 🙂

Our amazing volunteers are still helping us recover missing weather data taken on board ships travelling the globe in the 1860s. This data will help us better reconstruct changes in climate.
Do you have a few minutes spare to help #WeatherRescue too?

.@SF_Ebert and I have a paper under review with @ClimaticChange_. Based on our experience with @VICS_PAGES, we developed an "Interdisciplinary Nature-Induced Disaster Index." We hope to increase understanding of historical sources across disciplines. #envhist Here's the preprint:
