Ongoing Hourly Climate Updates Updated daily before 7am PST, this file includes the hourly observed data values for the past 3 days in the same format as the hourly climate data file. The file contains 3 days of data to help capture any missing data that becomes available during the 3 day period.

This product will run through January and February of the following year to capture any delayed data over that period for the previous year. Daily Climate Data Daily climate records go back to the late 1940s for some locations with our standard product sets being 10, 20 or 30 years of historical data. Normalized values can be delivered across each of these periods. Fields include: station id, valid date time, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average temperature, heating degree days, cooling degree days, precipitation, average relative humidity, average wind speed, average dew point, average visibility, average sea level pressure.
