Weathering heights
Article Abstract:
A three million pound sterling Weather Watch Discovery Centre is due to be built in Berkshire, England, if an additional one million pounds sterling is raised. The circular building, which will be able to hold 232 visitors, is going to be used as a teaching centre for children. The tower, which will be decorated by colored glass, is set into the centre and will be used to hold instruments necessary for weather measurement. This project has partly been funded from the Millennium Commission and the national lottery.
