Abstract

This paper describes how regional Weather Centres in Britain supply meteorological information to the community. With reference to the public enquiries directed to the Glasgow Weather Centre, it is shown how the demand for such information is likely to reflect a mix of socio‐economic and atmospheric factors. Spontaneous daily enquiries recorded over a 2‐year period in Glasgow are analysed through a regression model to demonstrate wide differences in weather sensitivity between demand categories. The most numerous enquiry types are shown to be those most dependent on weather conditions. Finally, it is suggested that any future work should incorporate a measure of behavioural influences in order to provide the best delineation of enquiry demand characteristics.
