This paper describes several meteorological records from Bern and vicinity, together covering the period 1777-1834. They comprise measurements in Bern by Karl Lombach, 1777-1789, Samuel Studer, 1779-1789 and 1797-1827, and Emanuel Fueter, 1803-1834. Studer was pastor and later professor of theology in Bern, but during the period 1789-1797 was appointed to Büren an der Aare, where he also continued his measurements before returning back to Bern and con-tinuing measurements. As no other measurements were performed in Bern during these years, the Büren measurements could help to fill the gap, together with the series by Johann Jakob Sprüngli in Sutz, 1785-1802. In this paper, we describe the sources and metadata pertaining to these series. Then we analyse the data, their processing and quality control and we compare the series during their overlapping periods. These series, together with others already digitised and published in this volume, will contribute to a 250-yr meteorological series for Bern.
