Scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) are looking for volunteers to help create Australia's longest daily weather record from a globally recognised climate change "hot spot". 

The citizen science project will help scientists reconstruct Perth's daily weather from 1830 to the present day. These historical records are critical for understanding Australia's pre-industrial climate and how climate change has impacted extreme weather events.
