Changes July 2010

Seven-station temperature data spreadsheet

The spreadsheet was updated to correct a historical data entry error for one location for a month in 1910.

A number of other changes were made in the climate database:

  • digitising small amounts of data from early last century previously held in paper records in Wellington and Nelson
  • creating two station numbers for Hokitika to reflect the fact there were two sites. 

Full technical notes on those changes are here.
