Met Office Historical Weather Scraper

A web-scraper for Met Office historical UK weather station data

The aim of this project is to automate the collection, processing, formatting, and plotting of data across the UK's 37 historic weather stations to build a picture of how the UK's weather has changed over time and how it varies across the island.
