Dear volunteers,


Thank you for your incredible work digitising Ireland’s historical rainfall records. It is progressing quickly, and we have nearly run out of metadata files.

We are excited to be launching as an official Zooniverse project next week. To prepare for this, and to provide more metadata sheets, we are now uploading data from the 1930s. This means you will be able to digitise data from the 1940s or the 1930s for the next while. 
We hope you enjoy taking part in this project.

Ciara and Rhonda.

Calling all weather and climate enthusiasts! Help us recreate the past climate of Ireland.

Irish Weather Rescue

The weather records used in this project are grouped based upon the four provinces of Ireland: Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster. They have also been divided into two categories: Data and Metadata. You can choose to explore the Data files where you will be asked to transcribe daily rainfall values for one month of the year or you can choose to explore the Metadata files where you will be asked to transcribe information about the station such as the station name, observer and unit of measurement.
To begin, please choose the province that you would like to explore. You will then be asked to select a county and a station. Once a station has been selected a weather record from that station will appear on the screen. 
**If this is your first visit to the project and you haven't had an introduction to the project with Met Éireann staff (normally offered to community / youth groups, schools & universities), then please navigate to the 'how-to' videos in the FAQ section under the 'About' tab**.
