Stockholm Observatory Weather station - Stockholm, Sweden - Weather Stations on Waymarking.com

"250-year measurement series is one of the world’s longest unbroken weather observation series. The first observer was the secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the astronomer and statistician Pehr Wilhelm Wargentin (1717-1783). He lived on the second floor in the then newly built observatory and placed his thermometer outside one of his windows."*

"When the observatory was renovated and extended in 1875 the thermometer was moved to a metal cage outside a window on the first floor. The current observation site, from 1960, is only about 10 metres away. These few small relocations make Stockholm’s long observation series one of the world’s absolute best. The high quality of the series has recently been documented in several scientific studies."*
