IEM "Climodat" Reports
These "Climodat" reports provide some answers to the most common climatological questions we get routinely asked. Here are some important notes about the products presented on this page.
- These reports are based on the daily climate observations from the NWS COOP network. Some quality control is done and estimating is done to create a complete time series without missing data. You can download the daily data.
- There is a station monitor app that allows you to see current summarized statistics for a station collection of your choice.
- The Automated Data Plotting application on this website contains charts and downloadable datasets that may interest you.
Data is available from the following states:
