    I am trying to get my hands on Irish weather data for the last 20-30 years for a Thesis. I'm looking for range in temperatures, precipitation and wind speeds rather than averages.
    I have checked out the met website but its fairly out of date.
    Does anyone know where I could obtain such data?

    One more thing.
    How accurate is the data? I presume its taken from the actual met weather stations?

    The stats on that site are reasonably accurate, but do seem to conflict just a tad with official Met Eireann data. Perhaps they are adjusted figures or maybe the readings were taken at different times, I can't say; but overall, they give a good idea.
