        Climatological Data (CD) is a publication created and archived at the 
National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The 
publication presents basic climatological data in monthly and annual issues. It 
is published for each US state or combination of states. The issues for 
combined states are: Hawaii-Pacific; Maryland-Delaware; New England 
(Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont); 
and Puerto Rico - US Virgin Islands. A West Indies and Caribbean issue was 
published through 1952. This issue was resumed with January 1960 and was 
published monthly and annually through 1967 when it was again terminated. This 
series was first published by the old US Weather Bureau in the mid 1880&apos;s 
as the CLIMATE AND CROP SERVICE OF THE WEATHER BUREAU. In February 1906, the 
title was changed to CLIMATOLOGICAL SERVICE OF THE WEATHER BUREAU. Beginning in 
July 1909, and continuing through December 1913, the monthly data were included 
as part of the MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW, but were presented on a drainage 
district basis. The annual data, however, were not published under this title. 
Beginning with January 1914, CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA has been published monthly and 
annually. The monthly issues contain: 1. Daily maximum and minimum temperatures 
(deg. F), precipitation (in.) totals, snowfall (in.) and snow on ground (in.) 
totals, soil temperature (Deg. F) at selected depths, and evaporation (in.) and 
wind movement (statute miles) totals. 2. Monthly temperature (Deg. F) and 
precipitation (in.) extremes; monthly average maximum and minimum temperatures 
(Deg. F), monthly average temperature (Deg. F) with departure from normal, 
highest and lowest temperatures (Deg. F) and date of occurrence, total heating 
degree days and cooling degree days (base 65 Deg. F), total number of days the 
maximum temperature is 90 Deg. or above and 32 Deg. F or below, total number of 
days the minimum temperature is 32 Deg. or below, and 0 Deg. F or below, 
monthly total precipitation (in.) with departure from normal, greatest day 
total precipitation (in.) and date, monthly total snowfall (in.), maximum depth 
of snow (in.) on ground and date, total number of days precipitation totals 
were 0.1 inch, 0.5 inch, and 1.0 inch or more, and state climatic divisions 
monthly average temperature (Deg. F) and precipitation (in.) with departures 
from normal. Seasonal (July through June) heating degree days (base 65 Deg. F) 
and snowfall (in.) are published in the July issue. The seasonal (January 
through December) cooling degree days (base 65 Deg. F) are published in the 
annual issue. The annual issue contains monthly and annual station and state 
climatic division average temperatures (Deg. F) with departure from normal, 
station monthly and annual total precipitation (in.) and state climatic 
division monthly and annual average precipitation (in.) with departure from 
normal, temperature extremes and freeze data, total evaporation (in.) and wind 
movement (statute miles), and average and extreme soil temperatures (Deg. F) at 
selected depths.
