Question ID: 177023
Where can I find a table of the weather conditions for the past  few
months (Jan - Current ) for Scottsdale, Arizona (Zip:85260). Im
looking for something as follows:

2/1 - Partly Cloudly
2/2 - Clear
2/3 - Clear
... etc Specifically im looking for it all on one page. I have found
several pages that will show you the condition for the day, but then
you have to change the page each time to view the next days
conditions, which takes too much time for what I am trying to do.

Thanks

Thanks for asking!

I believe you can best find the data you require, in custom generated
reports available from the NOAA National Climate Data Center. The
pre-formatted reports are generally compiled in a one month format,
with all days in a particular month appearing on the same page of an
ASCII delimited text file, however you may also generate custom
reports from the available data. You may view a SAMPLE of the report
format at:

National Climate Data Center Sample
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/samples/td3280.txt

The pages you need in order to obtain the reports are dynamically
generated with each request. You'll start at the Weather Station
Locator page, and scroll down approximately 2/3's of the way down the
page to the three Scottsdale weather stations. Select one of the
Scottsdale stations.

The Data Inventories and Digital ASCII files are the products that
best fit your requirements. By selecting from drop down menus and
filling in search textboxes, you may create customized reports
containing only the data you need.

Additionally, the Western Regional Climate Center offers both online
data, and offline summaries of Arizona Historical Climate Data, by
reporting station, that may also be of interest. I have also found the
NOAA, especially the Western Regional Data Center to be extremely
helpful via e-mail of telephone. You'll find contact information
listed on the website.
