Visual Crossing as a free resource for global daily records


Recommended Posts

I wanted to let everyone on here know about this website I discovered when trying to find Mexican weather records.

https://www.visualcrossing.com/weather-data

There are thousands of locations globally with daily weather records that can be downloaded for free. When precise records for a smaller city are unavailable they use pretty rigorous elevation and location interpolations as estimates as well.

I was able to come up with some generalizations of local lapse rates and various other things I've been wanting to study in global monsoon patterns using their data. The climate score table is my subjective assessment of how frequent pleasant days are in a given spot. Very cold or very hot days get negative scores.

The first Mexcan/second data table is my summary of range in monthly average high temperature, average temperature, with latitude and elevation information. Pre/Evp is my assessment of the Koppen Climate type, in the sense of whether theoretical evaporation exceeds observed precipitation or not. The highland subtropical climate zone of Mexican is maybe 1/5 of the country but it has 50% of their population - pretty special climate type. Often ~30 inches of rain, with lows rarely below freezing and highs rarely above 90. Routinely 300+ daily highs in the 60s/70s or 70s/80s.
