Weather and climate information for teachers
Students find earth science particularly fascinating. The
links below should help teachers, students and parents who are asked to help
with homework find reliable sources of information.
You can find the latest weather observations, five-day
forecasts and data on weather averages for locations around the world by typcing
in the name of a location, of its U.S. ZIP code in the box on the right side
of this page where it says "Enter ZIP or City" under the "More
weather" heading. Links to averages for each location, and more, are at
the bottom of each page.
Unless otherwise noted, links are to USATODAY.com pages.
The abbreviations at the beginning of a link identify the source. These are
listed at the bottom of this page.
