Short summary
The article discusses (i) a recently discovered series of meteorological measurements (air temperature, precipitation, pressure, humidity, wind direction, and force) taken in Wrocław, South-Western Poland, from 1773–81, and (ii) an analysis of air temperature. This unique, quality-controlled series, verified against data from Silesia (Żagań and Jelenia Góra) and Warsaw, extends Wrocław's regular temperature records back to 1773, previously starting in 1791.
