New Hampshire’s Mount Washington Observatory is a private, non-profit, membership-supported organization with a mission of weather observation, scientific research and educational outreach. Since 1932, the organization has maintained a fully-staffed weather station atop 6,288-foot Mount Washington, monitoring some of the most extreme weather conditions on Earth. In 1934, Observatory staff recorded a surface wind gust of 231 mph, a world record that stands to this day.
