BARC Weather

History and Information

Farm Operations has been recording the weather here at BARC since the 1930's. Until 1995 all stations recorded the temperature, humidity and rainfall on strip charts and hand typed forms. In the first months of 1995, seven electronic stations were installed beside six existing stations and at one new location on the farm.

All seven stations are logging data every fifteen minutes.
