Climate data
(OP)
Hello there,
Can anybody please point me towards where i might be able to obtain climatic data for particular years and for multiple locations?
The locations i'm looking for are a hot and dry enviornment somthing possibly like Libiya
and maybe Uk or somewhere cool and slightly humid
Thanks

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it's not safe ... make it that way.

Thanks for the quick response guys..

TMY (Typical Mean Year) weather files are available from around the world. There are many free utilities that can translate them into CSV (comma separated values) files that can be read by Excel.
Google DOE2 weather files
Good on ya,

If you can not find what you need on there, go to NOAA. You can buy the certified data there.

Example:
More precipitation fell between 11:00-2:00 than was recorded for the entire day. I can't explain that.

There are a number of reasons for the precipitation discrepancies:
The method used to measure precipitation. (Weatherunderground is just reissuing data from other sources and it is difficult to find on the site how the precipitation was actually measured.)
The weather stations may accumulate the precipitation in a number of different ways. Because of these differences, the hourly totals don't necessarily add up to the same amount as reported by the daily value.
Daily rain gauges are usually more accurate than either radar precipitation estimates or hourly gauge reports.
Hourly figures are generally raw uncorrected automated radar measurements which tend to be unreliable.
Daily precipitation figures are generally more accurate when taken from an observed rain gauge rather than an automated radar station.
In general, it is difficult to get reliable estimates of hourly rainfall intensities. Here is an example of it:
"Properly exposed, calibrated, and evaluated, the customary 8-inch-diameter weighing rain gage yields hourly precipitation values with standard errors of about .01 inch, so that reliability within .02 inch can be assumed. But two identical gages 10 feet apart on a windy ridge top can differ consistently in catch by 50 per cent of the smaller. Four pairs of identical gages, exposed side by side at four sites in Santa Barbara County, California, January–April 1959, were studied."

RE: Climate data
I would bet that if you sum the total of the "official" readings, it will closely match the daily total.

Within 0.02". That helps a lot! Thanks flight7
