history+ overview
-
history+ offers historical weather simulation data for the whole world with a spatial resolution between 4 and 30 km, not measurement data. These data are fully complete and without any gaps. The worldwide data availability and completeness are unique. Data are available for any place on Earth and on different altitude levels, independent of weather measurement stations. Simulation data are especially suitable for assessing weather for areas and regions over longer time periods. Interactive graphs allow immediate access to continuous time series for your locations.
Starting in 1940, the historical weather data are available in hourly steps or daily aggregations with a spatial resolution of 30 km, whereas higher resolution data are available since 2008 for nearly every place on Earth. Extensive verifications of our weather models are regularly conducted and thereby, top data quality is ensured.
history+ includes common weather variables. Other variables are available on request.
Included weather variables:
- Temperature (2 m above ground)
- Relative humidity (2 m above ground)
- Pressure (at sea level)
- Precipitation amount (mm/m2)
