CLIMATE DATA FROM THE NATIONAL CLIMATE DATA CENTER (NCDC):


If you are on campus or dialed in to the NEIU server, click this link to get to the "Station Locator" page.  Then enter the criteria you want to use (e.g. click "State" and enter "Illinois" in the box) and click search.  To learn how to download files of climate data, click here.

If you are off campus when you're trying to get data from the NCDC, you still can get it at no charge if you log in through our web proxy server.  You will need your NEIU login i.d. and password.
