National Climatic Data Center

The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) is a branch of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that collects, manages, and provides access to a vast archive of weather and climate data. It stores historical records of temperature, precipitation, storms, and other climate-related information from around the world. Researchers, policymakers, and the public use this data to understand climate patterns, analyze trends, and support decision-making related to weather and climate issues. Essentially, the NCDC serves as a comprehensive repository for climate data, helping us better understand Earth's climate system.
