From 1966 to 1991, Basil Dunlop was the official weather recorder for Grantown-on-Spey, three miles from the location of the current "Strathspey Weather" station at Cromdale.
  I feel sure that his records, presented here as monthly summaries, will be of great interest to local residents and climatologists alike. 
Whilst I have the luxury of modern computer equipment to record my data for me, I can only imagine the conditions that Basil must have endured to maintain his records, from howling gales and rain, to the blasts of Arctic weather that Strathspey experiences from time to time.
I feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to make the fruits of his labour available to all on the web, and I am indebted to him for his kind provision of these records.
