《牛津天气与气候》（Oxford Weather and Climate since 1767）详细描述和分析了牛津拉德克利夫天文台（Radcliffe Observatory）的天气记录，这是英国最长的连续单站点天气记录系列，也是世界上最长的天气记录之一。最早的记录可以追溯到1767年，而每日记录自1813年11月以来一直没有被打破。这些记录可以重建200年的温度和降雨量序列，并将牛津记录置于长期气候变化的背景下。在这本书中，整个数据集的第一次完整出版，牛津大学的长期记录既被庆祝又被描述。提供了按月份和季节对天气的详细评论，包括许多当代的纪录片和过去天气事件的照片证据。干旱和洪水是突出的，雾、霜、冰、雪也是突出的。一些长期的变化是明显的，例如在仪器记录期间空气温度的增加，但对生长季节的影响以及在牛津附近商业种植葡萄的能力却不太为人所知。
Oxford Weather and Climate since 1767 provides a detailed description and analysis of the weather records made at the Radcliffe Observatory in Oxford, the longest continuous series of single-site weather records in Britain and one of the longest in the world. The earliest records date from 1767, and daily records are unbroken since November 1813. The records allow the reconstruction of 200-year temperature and rainfall series and places the Oxford records in the context of long-term climate change. In this, the first full publication of the entire dataset, the long Oxford record is both celebrated and described. Detailed commentaries on weather by month and by season are provided, including numerous contemporary documentary and photographic evidence of past weather events. Drought and flood feature prominently, but so too do fog, frost, ice and snow. Some long-term changes are obvious, such as the increase in air temperature over the period of the instrumental record, but the impact on the growing season and the ability to grow grapes commercially near Oxford are less well known.
