We recovered daily visual Weather reports of Isahaya, a town close to Nagasaki. On basis of the
correlation between snowfall ratio and January temperatures we could
reconstruct from there diary the Nagasaki
the winter temperatures 1700-1868, whereas official instrumental data only goes
back to 1878.
