5 · best fit firstOpen station-day minimum temperature with station/date/quality supports thresholded freeze frequency and seasonality; daily data only bound subdaily duration.
Open station-day snowfall, snow depth, occurrence, station identity, and quality fields support pinned climatology.
WT17 freezing-rain and WT18 snow/ice occurrence with station/date metadata support occurrence climatology, not ice-accretion amount.
NOAA GHCN-Daily station and all-stations files provide station-, date-, and location-pinned daily observations for precipitation, snowfall/depth, temperature, wind, and documented weather occurrences, with measurement, quality, source, and observation-time attributes where available. Some non-U.S. WMO-contributed data carry commercial-use or re-export restrictions.
Station-day average wind and fastest five-second wind with station, date, and observation attributes provide supplemental daily wind and gust climatology; they do not alone provide maximum sustained wind.
