Disclaimer: NOAA collects weather data from multiple sources, including trained volunteer spotters (through SKYWARN) and automated weather stations. The absence of a reported data point does not necessarily mean that a weather event did not occur at a specific location or property. Weather events can be highly localized and may not be captured by the nearest reporting station. For insurance coverage decisions requiring precise meteorological analysis, consider consulting a forensic meteorologist or related service who can provide detailed, location-specific weather reconstructions and expert analysis for claim evaluation purposes.
NOAA's Weather and Climate Resources serves as a central hub for accessing the agency's extensive collection of meteorological and climatological data, tools, and services. The platform provides access to current weather forecasts, historical weather data, storm tracking, tornado statistics, wildfire and drought outlooks, and certified weather records for legal proceedings.
Resources include real-time weather maps, population impact assessments for weather warnings, billion-dollar disaster tracking, and educational materials. The site also offers career information, volunteer opportunities, and specialized tools for aviation weather, making it an essential resource for researchers, emergency planners, legal professionals, and weather enthusiasts seeking atmospheric data.
