What Northleigh is
An editorial archive on weather phenomena, meteorological concepts and climate data for observers based in Poland.
Northleigh started as a reference document for a small group of amateur meteorologists in central Poland who were frustrated by the gap between what national forecast apps show and what actually happens in their gardens, fields and commutes. The gap is real and measurable: Poland's mesoscale variability — driven by its position between Atlantic westerlies, Baltic maritime influence, Carpathian orography and continental eastern air masses — means that conditions 20 km apart can diverge substantially, especially during fog events, convective outbreaks and winter precipitation transitions.
What the site covers
Articles focus on three areas: reading and interpreting meteorological data (synoptic charts, radar imagery, upper-air analyses), understanding Poland's regional and seasonal climate characteristics using data from IMGW-PIB and Copernicus C3S, and setting up and calibrating amateur observation equipment according to WMO guidelines. The aim is precision over breadth — fewer topics treated in more depth, with references to primary institutional sources rather than secondary summaries.
Editorial approach
Content is written from the perspective of someone who has spent time reading IMGW-PIB station data, WMO observation manuals and Copernicus reanalysis reports. There are no forecasts, no commercial weather products and no connection to any meteorological agency. External links go only to the sources cited in the text: IMGW-PIB, ECMWF, Copernicus, WMO and WeeWX. Where figures are given, the time period and data source are specified.
