Weather data for Washington

[the dufferz]

Before moving to a state it is important to learn all you can about the area you want to live in. Weather is a important factor for most in that we are used to the climate we live in, so moving means a new neighborhood, a new climate.

Hearing from people what the weather is like, is similar to hearing reason why or why not to live somewhere. Perspective.

Now you have the chance to see some really interesting information. The following link will take you to the Western Regional Climate Center web site. This site keeps weather data, showing the historic information about every aspect of weather that you could imagine. This site is straightforward, not fancy, no flashing ads Yeah!, just data. When select a city, make sure you look at all of the options on the left side to see different things about the weather.

Lastly, make sure you bookmark this page! it's not easy getting back in from the main page

Here it is: http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/summary/climsmwa.html

For real-time or nearly real-time weather in this area, I use http://www.atmos.washington.edu/data/.

One can also use http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/sew/radar.php, though I'm more used to the first one. The NWS has handy links to other NWS places across the country, though.

my site shows historical, you site shows current, neither site bombs you with cookies and ads and flashing banners. Sounds like a match made in heaven.

I posted a link to each state that is served from the wrcc site. Feel free if you have the time to post the same for the states that atmos serves.

rock on!

I have a strong preference for .edu, .gov, and .mil sites for just those reasons.
