Climatology

This is where you will find what happened yesterday, last week or last year. However, you need to remember that these records are from particular sites. Precipitation can vary considerably over short distances, particularly during the warm season. While the long term precipitation averages for DFW and Waco can be considered representative of the nearby areas in the long range, individual days and months can be quite different from station to station. Detailed data for stations other than the "official" sites can be obtained from the National Climatic Data Center.
