These meteorological collections have been rescued and will be made available as open-access in upcoming peer-reviewed publications and datasets. @maynoothuniversity.ie

Historical meteorological records allow a greater understanding of past climate variability and assessment of the frequency, duration, intensity and distribution of extreme weather events. Long-term instrumental series are crucial to examine modern climate warming within a historical context.

Thank you also for inviting me to present my research on ‘Long-term trends and impacts of heat waves and cold waves in Ireland’ at the Symposium on Weather and Well-Being: Communicating Biometeorological Knowledge for Public Health.

Congratulations to all Tromp Foundation Awardees!

Thanks to David McWilliams for organising the panel ‘Portugal, the new European Tiger’ and for hosting me.

Thanks to Sian Smyth for organising a fantastic event.

Well done to Visit Portugal @visitportugal.com for promoting Portugal at multiple events and venues at the Dalkey Book Festival!

It was an excellent event celebrating Portugal Day with compatriots, our Irish friends and many other communities!

It was great to collaborate with the Librarians at the @ria.ie! Thanks very much for all of your time and for hosting me!

It was great to answer questions from the public and explain the importance of these historical meteorological records.

All meteorological records from the RIA have been digitised from the manuscripts and will be available as a dataset as part of an open-access peer-reviewed publication.

These historical meteorological records are crucial to better assess past climate variability and trends and the frequency, intensity, duration, and distribution of extreme weather events, and to put the current climate change into historical context.

It was an excellent opportunity to highlight the importance of historical meteorological records in assessing extreme weather events and putting climate change into a historical context. I was delighted to present some of my current research projects and explain how I use the meteorological records.
