You will need to answer questions based on real data in your exam. Some of these questions will be based on weather data from the large data set provided by Edexcel.
The data set consists of weather data samples provided by the Met Office for five UK weather stations and three overseas weather stations over two set periods of time: May to October 1987 and May to October 2015.
Please see below for a copy of the large data set, along with some general notes and practice questions (further exam resources are given in the following section).
