Description
Local Climatological Data (LCD) Description
Local Climatological Data is a monthly summary consisting of: 1) Summary sheet containing daily extremes and averages of temperature , departures from normal, average dew point and wet bulb temperatures, degree days, significant weather, precipitation, snowfall, snow depth, station and sea level pressure, and average and extreme wind speeds; 2) Hourly observations of most of these same weather elements plus sky conditions and visibility; 3) Hourly coded remarks; and 4) Hourly Precipitation table. The LCD is provided for approximately 1000 U.S. stations since 2005.

Local Climatological Data (LCD) are summaries of climatological conditions from airport and other prominent weather stations managed by NWS, FAA, and DOD. The product includes hourly observations and associated remarks, and a record of hourly precipitation for the entire month. Also included are daily summaries summarizing temperature extremes, degree days, precipitation amounts and winds. The tabulated monthly summaries in the product include maximum, minimum, and average temperature, temperature departure from normal, dew point temperature, average station pressure, ceiling, visibility, weather type, wet bulb temperature, relative humidity, degree days (heating and cooling), daily precipitation, average wind speed, fastest wind speed/direction, sky cover, and occurrences of sunshine, snowfall and snow depth. The source data is global hourly (DSI 3505) which includes a number of quality control checks.
The LCD product provides a local, long-term, quality controlled climate dataset from land-based in situ observations.
