ECAD: 30,000 Stations Telling the Real Story of Europe's Climate

European Climate Assessment & Dataset (ECAD) hub on ClimateObservatory.org: interactive map of ECAD-only stations, ECAD city search, long-run temperature charts from major European cities, featured cities, and links to the ECAD project, millennium temperature data, NASA GISTEMP, and NOAA.

Scroll for context, example cities, and a map showing ECAD-sourced points only.

Ultra-precise data spanning over a century

The ECAD (European Climate Assessment & Dataset) brings together more than 30,000 weather stations across 60 European countries.

With long, homogenized, and rigorously quality-controlled time series, it provides the most reliable and detailed view of changes in temperatures (mean, maximum and minimum), precipitation and other climate variables.

On this page you can explore:

  • Interactive charts for every ECAD station
  • Regional and national temperature trends across Europe
  • Clean, elegant visualizations powered by Recharts

An essential complement to NASA GISTEMP and NOAA data, ECAD lets you zoom from the entire continent down to your local region with unmatched precision.
