Plugin update - Climate U.S.Hi guys,
a major update to the Climate U.S. plugin.
This update adds new quite interesting
climate maps. Tables and data text files are nice, but I think it is much better to actually be able to see the data in an easier way by putting them on a map, coloring them based on the value and also including a table which can be sorted.
I took many statistics of the U.S. climate and for each city/place I found the right coordinates and placed it on a map.This way I got
dozens of interesting maps. Interested to know which cities have the most thunderstorms? Which cities have on average the lowest humidity in the morning? What are the absolute highs and lows of tens of major US cities? What about the number of clear days, number of hurricanes since 1900 in various cities, temperatures in the summer, winter etc etc. If you answered yes then you are going to like this update and you will actually be able to find out much more.
Maps included:
1. Extreme Weather- coldest: absolute coldest places, average coldest places, most often freezing, coldest major cities (absolute), coldest major cities (average), major cities lowest normal daily mean for summer and winter, lowest normal daily min/max for summer and winter, major cities with most freezing days, major cities record lows
- warmest: absolute warmest places, average warmest places, most 100-degree places, warmest major cities – average, number of days >50, warmest cities – highest daily max, normal daily mean, max, min and same for winter and summer separate, major cities record highs
- precipitation: driest major cities, cities with most dry days, driest places, wettest places, places with most days with precipitation, wettest major cities, major cities with most rainy days
- snow: places with most snow on one day, heaviest yearly snowfall, most days with fresh snow, highest snowfall in one year
- sun: sunniest places, most clear days, sunniest places in winter, most clear days in winter
- clouds: most days with heavy cloud, cloudiest places, most cloudy days, major cities with most partially cloudy days, cloudiest places in winter, most partially cloudy in winter, major cities – most cloudy in winter, major cities – most cloudy days in winter, major cities – most partial cloudy days in winter
- storms: major cities – most rainstorms, most snowstorms, most thunderstorms, most hurricanes, least rainstorms, least thunderstorms
- wind: windiest major cities
- humidity: major cities – lowest humidity, lowest morning humidity, lowest afternoon humidity, highest humidity, highest morning humidity, highest afternoon humidity
2. Averages for major US cities- temperature – highs, lows
- annual precipitation
- snow – annual amount, days with snow
- sun – annual sunshine hours, average number of clear days
- days with fog
- humidity – average, morning, afternoon
- wind speed average
The units should convert automatically based on your settings.
Please note: as I mentioned, I had to find all the coordinates and values so it is quite possible I could make a mistake somewhere, in which case just let me know and I will fix it.
Hope you enjoy it
