NASA POWER
NASA's free solar, weather and climate data for any point on Earth: hourly, daily and monthly temperature, sunlight, rain, wind, humidity and over a hundred more values from 1981 to the last few days, long-term averages, values across a whole region, wind roses, ASHRAE climate zones and building design conditions.

Steps a workflow can run in NASA POWER.
- List parametersList the parameters NASA POWER has for a time step and community (about 150 daily ones: temperatures, sunlight, rain, wind, humidity, soil moisture and more), each with its code, units, group and definition. Narrow it to some text or to the commonly used ones. The codes are what the data actions take. No API key required.
- Get parameter detailsLook up one parameter by its code, such as T2M: its name, what it measures, and at which time steps (hourly, daily, monthly, climatology) and for which communities it is available. No API key required.
- Get hourly dataGet hour by hour values for a place on Earth, such as temperature, sunlight or wind speed, from 2001 to the last few days. Up to 15 parameters and 31 days per step, to keep the result a usable size. Each parameter comes back with its name, units, a row per hour (missing values empty) and its average, minimum and maximum. No API key required.
- Get daily dataGet day by day values for a place on Earth, such as temperature, rainfall, sunlight, humidity or wind, from 1981 to the last few days. Up to 20 parameters and 366 days per step, to keep the result a usable size. Each parameter comes back with its name, units, a row per day (missing values empty) and its average, minimum and maximum. No API key required.
- Get monthly dataGet month by month values for a place on Earth, with a figure for each whole year, from 1981 to this year: average temperatures, total rainfall, sunlight and more. Up to 20 parameters per step. Each parameter comes back with its name, units, a row per month, a row per year and its average, minimum and maximum. No API key required.
- Get climatologyGet the long-term average for each month of the year and for the whole year at a place on Earth: what a typical January or July is like for temperature, sunlight, rain or wind. NASA's standard period runs from 2001 to the latest full year; give a start and end year for another one. Up to 20 parameters per step. No API key required.
- Get regional daily dataGet day by day values of one parameter for every cell of NASA's grid in a region 2 to 10 degrees across, such as a state's temperatures. Up to 31 days per step, to keep the result a usable size. Each grid cell comes back with its location, elevation, a row per day and its average, minimum and maximum, plus figures for the whole region. No API key required.
- Get regional monthly dataGet month by month values, with a figure for each year, of one parameter for every cell of NASA's grid in a region 2 to 10 degrees across. Up to 3 years per step, to keep the result a usable size. Each grid cell comes back with its location, elevation, its rows and its average, minimum and maximum. No API key required.
- Get regional climatologyGet the long-term average for each month and the year of one parameter for every cell of NASA's grid in a region 2 to 10 degrees across, over NASA's standard period: for example where a state gets the most sunlight. Each grid cell comes back with its location, elevation, monthly rows and yearly figure. No API key required.
- Get wind roseGet a wind rose for a place and period, at 10 m and 50 m above the ground: how often the wind blows from each of 16 directions, its average speed from each, and how the time splits across 10 speed classes, plus the prevailing direction. Useful for siting wind turbines, runways and buildings. Any period from 1981. No API key required.
- Get climate zoneFind a place's ASHRAE 169 climate zone, the one building energy codes use, worked out from NASA's data for a period: a thermal zone from 0 (extremely hot) to 8 (subarctic) and a moisture letter, A (humid), B (dry) or C (marine), such as 3A. Takes about 10 seconds. No API key required.
- Get climate design conditionsGet the ASHRAE climatic design conditions for a place, the figures engineers size heating and cooling with: heating and cooling design temperatures, humidity and enthalpy figures, extreme temperatures and winds, and month by month degree days, temperatures, rainfall and solar radiation. Metric units. Takes about 10 seconds. No API key required.
- Get data availabilityFind out how far each of NASA POWER's data sets reaches: the last day with weather, solar and rainfall data, and how many days behind today each runs. Useful before asking for the most recent days. No API key required.
