1. Observed Data updates
(Dynamic Predictables expresses appreciation and recognizes the contributions to
public service that come from public agencies at federal, state, and local levels as well as the many private companies that help advance weather and climate service to the benefit of all. A special thanks
goes to the US Department of Commerce and NOAA through its many agencies. At different points in this section, we attempt to credit, we hope appropriately and adequately, specific sources in proper context.)
National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) Climate Division
(cirs) data is updated within the first 10 days of the following month. This monthly climate data listing accumulated precipitation and monthly mean temperature may be accessed directly from NCDC, a division of NOAA in the US Department of Commerce. For convenience we provide the most recent data here for each of the 344 climate divisions in the continental US. The original ASCII (plain text) data files from NCDC begin January 1895 and are each approximately 3.5Mb files. This monthly climate division "cirs" data firms in three steps: the first step as reported here within the first ten days of the current month, a second step reporting usually within the last ten days of the current month, and a third step and usually final firming that occurs five to six months later.
At NCDC, Climate Divisions of interest may be located with a combined numeric state code, climate division
number, and climate variable code: StCdV with SS ranging from 1 to 48, Cd ranging from 1 to 10, and V being 1 for precipitation and 2 for temperature.
A crossover table (in Courier New font) is provided relating the state name to the state code:
