Weather Q&A

Q: Where can I find what the daily temperature, etc. was for every day of the previous month?

A: This is pretty easy to find on the National Weather Service's web page. Just go to www.weather.gov/sacramento and click on the "Climate" tab just above the map. On the next page, click on "Preliminary Monthly Climate Data" under the "product" header. Then, select the desired location and timeframe.

Another neat way to find climate data for any date for any location can be found on the www.climate.gov web page. Just look for the green "past weather" interface.
