Welcome To The Climate Resources Page!

The National Weather Service has developed web pages to provide you with a variety of useful resources relating to climate information, focusing on the central part of the U. S. Our aim is to provide you with one location to obtain up-to-date, reliable, and usable information. The climate information we provide is available through links, graphics, maps, and tables from our local and national offices, as well as our partners. If you have any additional questions about local climate science or impacts, please contact the National Weather Service office in your area.

Looking for past observed weather conditions? How about normal conditions and record weather events? From thunderstorms, to hurricanes, to winter storms... extreme weather impacts everyone. How warm is a typical June across the Midwest? What is the average snowfall in January? Our climate maps can show you.

Need to know if the next couple of months are going to be warmer than normal? The national climate outlooks can supply that information. What are the weather and climate hazards affecting the nation? Is your area in a drought? Find out by reviewing the latest drought conditions and outlooks. There are many factors that lead to climate variability, with the El Niño being just one. "Coming Soon": local climate outlooks for your area.

Climate can be a fun learning experience for children. Many science organizations have climate-related educational sites and materials. Looking for information about various climate phenomena, such as Global Warming and the El Niño? For more learning opportunities, check out a selection of climate publications and articles.

If you have questions about local climate science or impacts, contact the National Weather Service Office in your area. State climatologists collect and provide information for most states. Regional climate centers collect and provide information for different regions of the country. Many other national and international agencies have partnerships with NOAA and its specialized agencies.
