Climate maps of the United States

In the National Climatic Data Center’s (NCDC) Climate Maps Of The United States database (CLIMAPS), you will find over 2000 climate maps of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.

These full color maps are available for climatic elements such as temperature, precipitation, snow, wind, pressure, etc., chosen to portray the climate of the U.S. The period of record of the data for most of the maps is 1961-1990. Most of the maps can be downloaded in a high resolution Adobe PDF format, or as ESRI Shape Files.
