CIMIS Weather
What is CIMIS Weather?
California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS) is a system that records hourly weather for roughly 200 stations all over the state of California. We download this data daily and provide it as daily and monthly summaries of temperature and rainfall data. To find out more information on CIMIS visit the CIMIS web site.
In addition to providing the current year's data we also provide historical data up to 3 years.
Data is provided and displayed per weather station, which is usually near a specific city. Below is a working sample of the CIMIS Weather Asset.
