Summary
Weather knows no boundaries. Interest in ‘measuring the weather’ at any particular location is greatly enhanced by exchange and comparison of observations with others – locally/regionally, nationally or internationally. This chapter suggests ways to exchange information with other sites and other observers, under three main headings – online or real-time sharing using the Internet, online or offline reporting to informal or voluntary networks and co-operation with national weather services and other official bodies.
