I am a middle school teacher who is very concerned about global warming. My students’ memories don’t go back very far and they think it is perfectly normal to see mild weather and little to no snow throughout the winter months in New York City. I would like to compare current temperatures each day with historic averages. Finding current temperatures is obviously not a problem, but I am having difficulty finding historical data. Specifically, I would like the historic average daily temperature for each calendar day with the data taken from 1880 to 1990 (or thereabout). For obvious reasons, I do not want temperatures from more recent years to be included in the calculation of the historic average. Does anyone know how I could find this information? Even raw data in an Excel spreadsheet would do (I could type in a small amount of code to calculate the averages) and in fact would be preferable in many ways. Thanks!
