Sample data for Monthly (Station)

Download sample

Data format is:

Yr.Mth	Avg	Avg	Tot	Tot	Avg	Avg
YYYYMM	TMax	TMin	Rain	Evap	Rad	VP
()	(°C)	(°C)	(mm)	(mm)	(MJ/m²)	(hPa)


Monthly data are provided as follows:

  • Maximum temperature, minimum temperature, solar radiation and vapour pressure are the means for the given month; and
  • Rainfall and evaporation are the totals for the given month.

No daily data are provided.

Monthly totals and means are computed using all daily data available within the user-specified date range. For example, if the date range is 5 May 2020 - 8 July 2020, the totals and means will be computed using daily data as follows:

  • May 2020: partial totals and means based on data from 5-31 May 2020
  • June 2020: totals and means based on data from 1-30 June 2020
  • July 2020: partial totals and means based on data from 1-8 July 2020.
