I’m trying to get daily weather dataset for all U.S. cities and this proved to be a harder task than I thought. I’m looking for daily aggregated weather metrics, such as temperature minimum, temperature maximum, precipitation, average wind speed, humidity, etc.
This NCEI NOAA API (and its FTP bulk data download option) seemed promising initially, but it’s missing a lot of data for majority of their weather stations: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/support/access-data-service-api-user-documentation
I also looked into Wunderground API, but from the thread, the price is $10K per year, which I can’t afford: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/8tjavu/now_that_the_free_wunderground_api_has_been/
I looked into National Weather Service API, but this one doesn’t go back far enough and provides only granular data points: https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api
Does anyone know other good source for getting historical weather data?
