What it does
NCEI provides access to environmental information and historical weather-data resources.
Start with the historical dataset and its geographic and time coverage. NCEI is an archive rather than an issued local forecast. On 26 October 2026, the site warned that cloud migration could cause data-access delays and degraded order fulfilment; check current service notices before planning a time-sensitive retrieval.
