National Climate Data Center


The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) provides climate data for the United States. These data are primarily intended for the study of climate variability and change. Whenever possible, observations have been adjusted to account for the artificial effects introduced into the climate record by factors such as instrument changes, station relocations, observer practice changes and urbanization. As a result, some values available on this site differ from the official observations. Users can access national, regional, statewide and city mean temperature and precipitation data. This is a helpful site for anyone looking for temperature of precipitation data.
