Historical monthly weather data¶
From this page you can download historical monthly weather data for 1960-2018. These data are downscaled from CRU-TS-4.06 by the Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, using WorldClim 2.1 for bias correction.
The variables available are average minimum temperature (°C), average maximum temperature (°C) and total precipitation (mm).
The spatial resolution is 2.5 minutes (~21 km2 at the equator), 5 minutes (~85 km2) or 10 minutes (~340 km2). Each download is a “zip” file containing 120 GeoTiff (.tif) files, for each month of the year (January is 1; December is 12), for a 10 year period.
