does not match the day in question, it is unlikely that the content is authentic. However,
rural areas are usually not covered, so it may be necessary to look at the weather of the
nearest major town. Something to keep in mind is whether the locations are divided by
contrasting land masses as this can cause changes in weather patterns. Even if you can’t find
the exact weather in that location, you may be able to gain a rough idea of the weather in the
area that day. If there is an obvious difference, this shows the event may not have happened
in that location on that day, or that the content is showing an entirely different event. Relying
only on corroborated weather data is insufficient. It is, however, an indicator that combined
with others could either confirm or deny that an event took place.

This tool allows you to look up past weather data in a certain area. Not all areas are
recorded, however, capitals and major cities usually are.
Type in “Weather in [city], [country] on [day], [month], [year]”.
Once you see the results, you can change the unit of measurement that the results are
shown in. Clicking on the right where it says ‘British Units’, will cause a drop-down
list to appear.
