Old Weather Project

The Old Weather Project is a citizen science initiative that involves volunteers in analyzing historical weather data from ship logs. By digitizing and interpreting these records, which date back to the 19th and early 20th centuries, participants help create a valuable database to understand past climate patterns and improve weather models. This project connects history, maritime exploration, and climate science, allowing everyday people to contribute to significant research that addresses contemporary climate challenges and enhances our understanding of weather changes over time.
