Description
We will provide an overview of the project, data collection and demonstrate the GIS database. Historic weather database creation project using English national chronicle records (Holinshed, Stow), as well as local chronicles, letters, diaries, and pamphlets documenting extreme weather and meteorological events between 1500-1700. These years were part of what is known as the Little Ice Age, a period of global cooling. Written accounts—both formal and informal—are crucial to documenting weather patterns prior to the development of weather recording technologies.
