Notes on the data
  • Records start March 2022. The station moved here from Seattle then; earlier readings aren't counted.
  • Wind is hidden. The anemometer stopped reporting in March 2025; wind readings return when it's repaired.
  • Rain is hidden. The rain gauge is unreliable, so station rainfall isn't shown. Forecast rain chances come from the forecast provider.
  • Sensor glitches are filtered from records. Readings outside realistic limits, single-reading spikes, and sunshine or UV beyond what a clear sky allows at that hour are skipped when records are computed. Barometer records start in 2023 (2022 readings ran high).
  • Forecasts, alerts and air quality come from Xweather (Aeris); radar from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet / NWS NEXRAD; earthquakes from the USGS.
