Some resources from federal government sites are currently unavailable; when possible, we’ve provided alternative non-government links to ensure continued data access.
Users can create their own table in the "tabular data" tab by clicking "new search" in the top righthand corner and choosing which weather stations and elements to include in the table.
There are colorful maps of current temperatures, wind speed, radar, and wind gusts at the top of the web page, along with a weather-related article.
Prerequisites
The blog portion of the resource has not been updated since 2018.
The layout on the homepage is a little busy and confusing but the other tabs are much easier to navigate.
Differentiation & Implementation
Math teachers could use the tabular data to create table data word problems for students to solve.
Science classes could use this resource in a unit about meteorology. Students could look at the barometric pressure graph and use it to forecast the weather.
Other resources on this topic include this lesson on the difference between climate and weather, this NASA video on wind, and this Crash Course video on how climates are classified.
