Abstract:
The Millersville University Meteorology Department offers CLimate Normals, Records, and Past Weather data for stations in the state of Pennsylvania. Recent data is available from the weather station at Millersville University with links to data from the cities of Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Erie, Scranton, Penn State, Baltimore (MD), and Washington (DC). The data archive section contains monthly climate summaries for Lancaster (1914-last month). Hourly data is available for the Lancaster station from May 1998 to the present. Meteograms are available from 3/02 to the present. Last months Summary for Harrisburg and Williamsport and Monthly total precipitation for many PA cities is also accessible. The Following Normals and Records data sets may be downloaded for the Millersville/Lancaster weather station. - Normals and Records: January - December - Normal Year-to-Date Precip: January - December - Monthly Temp Departures: 1914-2001 - Most- and Least-ever Monthly Precip: 1914-2000 - Normal High/Lows: Graph - Seasonal Snowfall: 1926-2002 - Monthly Snowfall: 30 year averages - Mean Monthly Data: High/Low/Precip/Degree Days - Monthly & Annual Precip: 1968-2001 Snowfall Data - Seasonal Snowfall: 1926 - 2002 - Monthly Snowfall: 30-year Averages - Snowstorms (date & amount) by Decade: 1920/30s | 40s | 50s | 60s | 70s | 80s | 90s | 00s - All measurable snowfalls since 1926 The following data is available for other PA cities: - 30-year Normals for major US cities: Heating Degree Days, Cooling Degree Days, Percent Possible Sunshine, Clear vs. Cloudy days, Relative Humidity, Wind Speed - Historical Climatology Network (HCN) data for many PA locations (1920-1994): Monthly Average Highs, Monthly Average Lows, Monthly Mean Temps Please link to the Millersville University Weather Information Center to obtain this data: http://www.atmos.millersville.edu/~wic/ |
