Nearest Station Precipitation Data Retrieval

Minnesota's precipitation data archive is searched for data closest to a selected target location for each month. Values from the site closest to the target location are returned below after clicking the retrieve monthly data or retrieve daily data buttons. The precipitation data are made up of measured rainfall and the measured liquid content of snowfall.

Temperature, snowfall, and snow depth data from National Weather Service reporting stations are no longer retrieved from this application. To obtain those data, see our newest data retrieval tool (May 2014). National Weather Service precipitation data continue to be available from this application.
