Connect your AI agent to the NCEI Climate Data Online archive and explore decades of global environmental records through natural language.

What you can do

  • Datasets & Categories — Browse primary data groupings like Daily Summaries (GHCND) or Global Summary of the Month (GSOM) using list_datasets and list_datacategories.
  • Location Discovery — Find specific geopolitical entities, cities, or zip codes using list_locations and list_locationcategories to narrow your search.
  • Station Metadata — Identify weather observing platforms and stations worldwide with list_stations to find the exact source of climate records.
  • Data Type Inspection — Query specific climate variables such as precipitation (PRCP), average temperature (TAVG), or snow depth using list_datatypes.
  • Historical Analysis — Retrieve precise climate observations for specific timeframes and locations to power research or environmental reporting.

List all available climate datasets from NCEI.

I've retrieved the available datasets. Key archives include 'Daily Summaries' (GHCND), 'Global Summary of the Month' (GSOM), and 'Precipitation Hourly' (PRECIP_HLY). Which one would you like to explore further?

Find weather stations located in London, UK.

Searching for stations in London... I found several platforms, including 'LONDON HEATHROW' (ID: GHCND:UKM00003772) and 'LONDON WEATHER CENTER'. Would you like to see the data types available for Heathrow?

What are the data types available for the Daily Summaries dataset?

For the Daily Summaries (GHCND) dataset, available types include PRCP (Precipitation), SNOW (Snowfall), TAVG (Average Temperature), TMAX (Maximum Temperature), and TMIN (Minimum Temperature).

You can use the `list_stations` tool and provide a `locationid`. To find the correct location ID first, use the `list_locations` tool to search by city or state name.
