Sample from the UK Daily Weather Reports (1901)

Daily Weather Reports are collections of telegraph observations used to make daily synoptic weather-maps. The UK started producing them in 1860, and by 1901 they had established a standard format with a printed table structure filled in by hand. The UK DWRs have been digitised for the period 1901-1910 through the weatherrescue.org project, but other decades are not yet digitised.
