Capture old weather data from New Zealand, the Southern Ocean and Antarctica to help us understand the past and prepare for the future

Southern Weather Discovery

Our next phase of SWD work is focused on "The Week it Snowed Everywhere" - an extreme snowfall event during the winter of 1939 that reached all the way up to the subtropical far north of New Zealand. 

We need your help to get massive amounts of old weather information off the page and Autumn 1939 will help to set the scene for what happened during the Winter of 1939. Choose your climate variable from autumn of 1939 to enter - will it be air pressure, temperature or wind? 


This phase of Southern Weather Discovery has some extra support from a Microsoft AI for Earth grant.
"The Week it Snowed Everywhere" dataset will help us improve understanding of extreme weather events within the context of long-term climate change.
