92-year-old Man Who Recorded Weather for Over 60 Years Retires

That the Parliament commends the efforts and dedication of 92-year-old Mervyn K-Browne from Ardtalnaig, south Loch Tay, who has just retired as a weather data recorder after close to 63 years of daily weather observations; recognises that Mervyn has taken daily 9.00am weather recordings from his home weather station since he first volunteered in 1957 and is thought to be one of the longest-serving weather recorders on record; understands that he has made measurements of rainfall, sunshine, windspeed and direction, cloud cover, days of consecutive rain and snow depth, as well as measuring permanent snow patches on nearby Munros; notes that his data has been used by the Met Office, the National Weather Organisation, book writers and the National Climate Archive, which has added his data to its collection; thanks Mervyn for his contributions to the nation's favourite conversation; wishes him the very best for the future, and hopes that he enjoys his very well-earned retirement.
