Please contact us with information on stations that may be missing.
When you click on a weather station circle on the map, a box will pop up with brief information about the station and a link to the station’s data. You can also view or download complete weather station data in table form. Definitions of the fields for this table and for the weather station boxes on the map are in the expanding panels below. The sources for the weather station data presented here are also listed below.
Some caveats
SCPN provides this information as a courtesy to visitors of this website. This map and accompanying list of stations were compiled by the SCPN from multiple weather data sources. Links to the weather data are included where known; however the source weather data are not collected or maintained by the SCPN.
SCPN does not guarantee that this map and list of stations are accurate or complete. Due to datum and rounding differences in the source data, mapped station locations may differ from physical location by as much as one kilometer.
In compiling this list, SCPN retained the records of any station that had a unique network affiliation, ID, operation dates or coordinates. As a result, it's likely that some station records are duplicates.
The term "data repository" in the map legend refers to the entity responsibile for maintaining each climate database, not to the operational network, which is the source of the data.
