+# Weather at Weston Park
+
+This package details the weather recorded at [Weston Park, Sheffield](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston_Park,_Sheffield) at the [Weather Station](https://www.museums-sheffield.org.uk/museums/weston-park/planning-a-visit/weston-park-weather-station) which was established in 1882 by Elijah Howarth the curator of [Weston Park Museum](https://www.museums-sheffield.org.uk/).  It is one of the oldest weather stations in the UK and is still operated by staff at the museum, and all data can be requested, although there may be an administration charge for doing so.  The weather is also tweeted daily under the [@WPWeather](https://twitter.com/WPWeather) account.
+
+This package scrapes those tweets and produces [time-series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_series) graphs of the different metrics.
