All Weather Data Query
Display or download hourly weather data, daily summaries, or degree days in tabular or graphical format. Select the location, date range, weather variables, type of data, and output format desired.
Degree Day Calculator
Get degree day results for all the base temperatures used in NEWA tools using physical weather station data. Select the location, date range, base temperature, and formula to get the accumulated degree days and a chart plotting degree day accumulations over time. This tool focuses on recent data and includes the 5-day forecast.
If you don't find a nearby NEWA station, try this Growing Degree Day (GDD) Calculator provided by Cornell University partner program Climate Smart Farming (CSF). The CSF GDD calculator uses interpolated (estimated) temperature data, instead of on-farm microclimate data, to provide current season accumulation with historical climate comparisons.
