Current Climate Summary Maps - HPRCC

The Climate Summary Maps are produced daily using data from the Applied Climate Information System (ACIS). Stations used are from the National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Network (COOP) and the Automated Weather Data Network (AWDN). Maps include total precipitation, precipitation departure from normal, precipitation percent of normal, average temperature, temperature departure from normal, heating degree days, heating degree days departure from normal, cooling degree days, cooling degree days departure from normal, and standardized precipitation index (SPI).

Climate Atlas Maps - HPRCC

The High Plains Climate Atlas is composed of a series of maps with various climatic variables being represented. In most instances, 50 years of data were used to comprise the atlas. Maps include mean maximum temperature, mean minimum temperature, precipitation thresholds, last spring freeze, first fall freeze, growing degree days (base 50), total precipitation, total snowfall, heating degree days, and cooling degree days.
