Does anyone know where one can get historic wind data (avg direction and speed per hour for example) for a well known location like LAX? I was looking a few months ago and couldn’t find anything. I thought surely NOAA or NWS would have this?
YEah i can tell you for 10 bucks. Try to google wind speed LAX for starters. Did you search at all? Airports have weather stations that record shit and you can get at those data.
As mentioned in the comment elsewhere in this thread, I run an API service (oikolab.com) that does this. You can get hourly data for any location from 1950 onward.
