I am trying to find the history of the weather for August 5, 1977 in Provo, Utah. Is there an easy way to find that online or would you happen to know how the weather was?
Thanks for your time. Jessie **********************************************************
You'd think this data would be easy to find right? Nope. It's easy to find averages, it's not easy to find hourly data or even just highs and lows for a day that happened that long ago in time.
Anyway, you can get the data, but the bad news....it will cost you. About 4 bucks. It's not breaking the bank but you will have to shell out some dough to look at weather info that far back for the Provo Airport. Finding records is easy, weather extremes, sure, but looking back to daily data is difficult to find and you have to dig it up.
The link is on the right to where you need to go, unfortunately I can't give you an answer to your Q, but if you go to the NCDC website, you can find the information there. Just go to their data and products section. Their website is kind of hard to navigate, so set aside a few minutes to do this task. Best of luck.
