Met Office - Historical Central England Temperature Data
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
These daily and monthly temperatures are representative of a roughly triangular area of the United Kingdom enclosed by Preston, London and Bristol.
Description
The monthly series, which begins in 1659, is the longest available instrumental record of temperature in the world. The daily series begins in 1772.
Manley (1953,1974) compiled most of the monthly series, covering 1659 to 1973. These data were updated to 1991 by Parker et al (1992), when they calculated the daily series. Both series are now kept up to date by the Climate Data Monitoring section of the Hadley Centre, Met Office.

Since 1974 the data have been adjusted to allow for urban warming. The UK Meteorological Office have also been compiling Maximum, Minimum and Mean daily Central England temperatures data files since January 1998. [
