Abstract
Two of the longest instrumental records of temperature existing in the world, are the Central England (1659-present) and the De Bilt, The Netherlands (1735-present) series. In this paper, a comparative description of the series is given. Due to the small distance between England and The Netherlands, the series are strongly correlated, which makes it possible to detect and probably eliminate some errors in the individual series. The observed upward trend of yearly mean temperature in both series is paralleled by systematic changes in prevailing wind direction.
