Historical Weather Scraper — Daily & Hourly Since 1940

Download historical weather data for anywhere on Earth with the Historical Weather Scraper. Enter place names or coordinates and a date range, and export daily or hourly temperature, precipitation, wind and more — back to 1940 — as one tidy row per day or hour in JSON, CSV or Excel.

Built for climate and academic research, energy and demand forecasting, agriculture and insurance, and data analytics, it turns decades of reanalysis weather into a clean, tabular dataset you can drop straight into a spreadsheet, notebook or model.

What it does

• 📅 Deep history — daily or hourly weather back to 1940 for any location.
• 🌡️ Rich variables — temperature (max/min/mean), precipitation, rain, snowfall, wind, gusts, radiation and evapotranspiration.
• 🧱 Tidy rows — one row per day (or per hour), with each variable as its own column.
• 📍 Name or coordinates — type "London" or pass exact coordinates; batch many at once.
• 🕒 Local or UTC — timestamps in each location's local time or UTC.
• 📤 Export anywhere — JSON, CSV or Excel, or straight into a notebook, sheet or model.

Example output

{
  "name": "London",
  "date": "2024-01-01",
  "temperature_2m_max": 11.4,
  "temperature_2m_min": 6.2,
  "temperature_2m_mean": 8.7,
  "precipitation_sum": 4.9,
  "windspeed_10m_max": 28.1,
  "timezone": "Europe/London"
}

How to use it

Output fields

Location columns — name, query, latitude, longitude, country, admin1, elevation, timezone, granularity — plus date (daily) or datetime (hourly) and one column per requested variable (e.g. temperature_2m_max, precipitation_sum, windspeed_10m_max).

Popular use cases

• Climate & academic research — build long time series for any site.
• Energy & demand forecasting — correlate load with historical temperature and wind.
• Agriculture & insurance — analyze rainfall, frost and heat over past seasons.
• Analytics & modeling — feed clean historical weather into notebooks and models.
• Reporting — compare this year to prior years for any location.

FAQ

Do I need an account or key? No. Enter your locations and dates and run.

How far back does the data go? From 1940 up to a few days before today.

Daily or hourly — which should I pick? Daily gives one compact row per day; hourly gives 24 rows per day with finer detail (larger output).

Can I pull many locations at once? Yes — add multiple place names or coordinate objects; each returns its own rows.

Can I export to Excel or Google Sheets? Yes — results download as JSON, CSV or Excel and drop straight into spreadsheets and notebooks.
