Source
Originally from the Colorado Climate Center at Colorado State University. The Colorado state climatologist office no longer provides this data without charge. The data can be obtained from the NOAA/NCDC web site, but there are slight differences (i.e., some missing values for temperature). The annual maximum precipitation data is taken directly from the daily precipitation data available in this package under the name “Fort”.
