To do so requires access to basic information about the characteristics of its weather and how they are changing. Although there are currently around 260 weather stations in the capital, they are operated by a range of organisations and volunteers, and the data are not coordinated or centrally accessible. This report makes the case that we could and should harness this wealth of information – most notably through the creation of a focused weather portal for London.
