Where the figures come from
PlainClimate shows NOAA's official 1991-2020 normals for 4,764 U.S. places, each from the NOAA station that represents it (the National Weather Service's record station where one is named): the normal high and low of every month and day, rain and snow, frost dates, the records and how recent years compare. 430 more places of 50,000+ without a station have NOAA's gridded normals.
How to read the normals
Questions
What are climate normals?
Thirty-year averages that NOAA computes every ten years from each weather station's daily record. The current set covers 1991-2020 and was released in May 2021; PlainClimate shows it for 7,247 stations.
Why does a city page name an airport?
Most large cities keep their official climate record at the main airport, where the National Weather Service observes around the clock. Each page names its station, its distance from the place and its elevation.
Are these forecasts?
No. Normals describe a typical year. Each place page links the National Weather Service forecast for the place.
