I believe many of you have used weather forecast queries before. If high precision is not required, you can simply open Google and type "City Name + tq" to find it. But have you ever wondered how to query past weather? For example, if I want to study climate change over the last ten years and obtain daily weather data (maximum temperature, minimum temperature, etc.) for that period, how should I look it up?
I wanted to find this data a long time ago, but a casual search on the internet yielded no results, so I put it aside. A few days ago, a classmate asked me the same question, so I did some searching. Hard work pays off, and I finally found it. It turns out the keyword should be "Historical Weather Query" (previously I searched for many keywords like "meteorological data download" or "meteorological statistics" but found no useful results).
A Chinese website that supports historical weather queries is:
http://lishi.tianqi.com/
It’s a decent website where you can select weather data for one month
for a specific city, for example:
http://lishi.tianqi.com/yaan/201303.html
You can copy it into Excel for organization and analysis. However, it only contains data for the last three years.
Similar websites include:
http://tianqi.2345.com/wea_history/59287.htm
(Also only has data for the last three years; I suspect they share the same data source.)
However, searching for "Historical Weather" or "Past Weather" on
Google yields much richer results. The first website is:
http://www.wunderground.com/history/
You can enter the city’s Pinyin or zip code to query. It supports data queries for approximately the last 18 years and has rich features, such as querying weather for a specific time range:
There is even older data available at:
