The UKCP09 Weather Generator provides time series of weather variables that quantify certain aspects of weather on a daily or hourly basis. These variables are temperature, rainfall, humidity and sunshine amount. It allows users to generate plausible daily and hourly time series of these weather variables at 5 km resolution level. As there is no climate change data available at the 5km scale, the Weather Generator ‘downscales’ the climate data from the 25km scale.
