Latest enhancements to the LGfL weather stations
In April 2010 - the weather station interface was modified to separate out the forecast and temperature readings on map view. This change was made to allow for greater clarity on the map showing temperature and allows the possibility of colour variations in temperature across the maps, at different scales, to be viewed. It was also felt that the 'Forecast' icons were misleading when they were shown on the temperature map.
LGfL plan to enhance the LGfL weather stations support with new curriculum material for Key stage 3 and 4 featuring activities that explore the 'Urban Heat Island' effect.
The material will use the data archive to show how the weather stations in London can be used to monitor this regional phenomenon.
'The weather teaching resources developed by the London Grid for Learning are simple, easy to use, accurate and curriculum linked resources. They which encourage schools to make use of the one fieldwork resource that is available to every school, every day – the weather. As more and more schools invest in a school weather stations, resources such as these which enable schools to make teaching relevant to their students’ local environment are invaluable.'
