					Most records 
					go back to May 2005, which is when this station started 
					recording weather for the Otter Valley. Sea surface 
					temperature records are for Lyme Bay and date from early 
					2003. Sunshine recording was added late 2006 and started 
					collecting data in 2007. Soil and grass temperature readings 
					started in 2007. UV Index recording started in January 2011.
					1Longest continuous snow cover of at least 50% of 
					the ground. 2Snow days are defined as snow seen 
					falling. 3Frostiest days are defined as the time 
					duration with temperatures below 0.0°C. 4Thunder 
					days are defined as days when thunder is heard. 5Soil 
					temperatures at 10 cm depth begin from the start of 2018.
					6Soil moisture deficit is measured at 30 cm depth 
					and is in centibars (cb). Recording started September 2017.
