Ed Hawkins has shared an opportunity to get involved in a citizen science project during lockdown.

The British love talking about the weather. They also love measuring it.
In the 1970s there were around 5500 rain gauges in the UK - that means you would not have been more than a couple of miles from one! Nowadays there are around 2500 which is still enough to map out variations in rainfall from month to month.
But, when we look at the number of rainfall records, it seems as though there were only a few hundred rain gauges before 1961. So what's going on?
