CET tracker

The Central England Temperature (CET) is the world's longest-running temperature record, dating back to 1659.

Maintained by the UK Met Office, it covers a triangular area in the Midlands of England. Data from Rothamsted (Hertfordshire), Stonyhurst (Lancashire), and Pershore (Worcestershire) are currently used in its calculation.
