How do you find historical climate data?
First, find the location you need climate data for on the following map: https://www.weather.gov/ and click on that region. The Web site of the local WFO will then appear. On the left side of the page there will be a section called Climate in yellow-colored text. You may have to scroll down the page.
Where can I find Climatic data?

How far back does climate data go?
Here’s what’s going on: Scientists mark the start of modern global record-keeping at roughly 137 years ago, in 1880. That’s because earlier available climate data doesn’t cover enough of the planet to get an accurate reading, according to NASA.
Where can I download global temp data?
There is a good site where you can download up to date climate data such as precipitation, Average minimum maximum temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, global radiation..etc. Worldclim (http://www.worldclim.org/) has 30-year averages, spatially downscaled (30 arc second) temp, precip and bioclimatic variables.
What is the correct term for a source of historical climate data?
In paleoclimatology, or the study of past climates, scientists use what is known as proxy data to reconstruct past climate conditions. These proxy data are preserved physical characteristics of the environment that can stand in for direct measurements.
What is the oldest recorded temperature?
The oldest continuous temperature record is the Central England Temperature Data Series, which began in 1659, and the Hadley Centre has some measurements beginning in 1850, but there are too few data before 1880 for scientists to estimate average temperatures for the entire planet.
What is the warmest year on record in human history?
In January 2017, several scientific agencies around the world, including NASA and the NOAA in the United States and the Met Office in the United Kingdom, named 2016 the warmest year recorded.
What techniques are used to learn about past climates and environments?
Paleoclimatologists have several means of measuring the changes in climate, including taking ice core samples, observing remnant glacial land forms, surveying the sediment on the ocean floor and studying the fossils of ancient vegetation.
What 4 ways do scientists measure previous climates?
Scientists study Earth’s climate and the ways that it changes in a variety of different ways, using satellite, instrumental, historical, and environmental records.
