IEM "Climodat" Reports

These "Climodat" reports provide some answers to the most common climatological questions we get routinely asked. These reports are based on the daily climate observations from the NWS COOP network. We also provide "kitchen sink" data files which contain the much of the raw information used to generate the reports.

Note on data sources:
The Iowa State Climatologist provides the IEM with a monthly update of quality controlled observational data. This procedure takes a good deal of time on his behalf. Quality controlled information exists from 1 Jan 1951 till 01 Aug 2009. Any months of data afterwards are based on preliminary data from NCDC and other sources. Some sites have data back to 1893, so their reports contain data dating back to then.
