As a born and bred Minnesotan, discussing the weather is in my blood. It's hard to resist the topic lately, with the recent clear skies and record temperatures.
Did you know that certified weather data for use in litigation is available only through the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.? The NCDC is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Information (NOAA)'s Weather Service. To order the certified data, go to this page for instructions: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/pa/climate_data.php
To find preliminary data, go to http://www.weather.gov/. Click on the state you're interested in and use the "Climate" menu on that state's page. For example, the Twin Cities climate data is accessed here: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/mpx/climate.php. Not only can I find the high temperature from this date last year (44) but also the average wind speed (6.6) and, among other things, that there was thunder.
Enjoy the mild Spring!
