DearMr Jones,

I am writing on behalf of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew ("RBG Kew") in response to your request for information dated 15 October 2010. I sincerely apologise for the delay in getting this information to you. I have treated your request in accordance with the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.

You asked for the following information:

“…a copy of all the daily summaries of temperature data (min/max) from this station [the weather station maintained and operated by RBG Kew] that are held electronically”.

I attach a table detailing all of the temperature data from this station held by RBG Kew (which covers the period from 1 August 2007 until 22 November 2010). Two readings are taken each day at 9am, and then 9pm.

I hope that you are satisfied with the way in which I have dealt with your request.

However, should you not be satisfied, you are encouraged to contact the person within RBG Kew who is responsible for assessing RBG Kew’s responses to information requests. This person is our Director, Business and Corporate Services, Andy Burchell. You can write to him at the RoyalBotanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AB, or email him at .
