Abstract
Two long mean surface air temperature series are presented for Armagh Observatory; one based on twice daily 'spot' temperature readings, 179 6-1882, and the other on daily maximum and minimum temperatures, 1844- 1992. Our data confirm the correlation of temperature with solar cycle length, first suggested by Friis-Christensen and Lassen (Science 254, 698, 1991) and, for this site, extend their result a further 65 years , back to the end of the 18th century.
