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

Climate archives spanning over 150 years

The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) operates one of the largest climate observation networks on Earth.

It delivers highly reliable historical time series on temperatures (land and ocean), anomalies, precipitation and many other variables, often dating back to the late 19th century.

On this page you can explore:

  • Interactive charts for all NOAA stations and datasets
  • Global and regional temperature trends
  • Clean, elegant visualizations powered by Recharts

A perfect complement to NASA GISTEMP and ECAD data, NOAA lets you track global warming at planetary scale with unmatched depth and precision.
