This weather sounding took place during Storm Éowyn. Even when undertaken within the ostensibly sheltered confines of York University campus, the roaring winds were more than sufficient to knock over and scatter the ground station equipment, even as the sounding was taken place! The double cross antenna fell to pieces and had to be repaired and held in position against the wind as NOAA-18 passed overhead - surprisingly, this did not appear to impact the recording.

Undoubtedly, the chief source of local concern around the climate crises is in its potential to generate flooding from the nearby rivers Ouse and Fosse.
