(about)
NWS Cooperative Observer: Daily air temperatures and precipitation are recorded by volunteers. Sensors are maintained by National Weather Service. Coop data make up the bulk of the historical climate record - several stations in NC have records for over 100 years. Current observations are available for many stations on the next day. Some stations only have updated observations 3-6 months later. There is a Coop station in almost every county in North Carolina.

Network Overview
COOP stations have minimal instrumentation but often have long periods of record for two key weather parameters: daily temperatures and precipitation. Observations are made once per day, and may be recorded automatically or manually by a volunteer observer. Hand-coded observations may take several months to become available online, while computer-submitted ones should show up by the next day.
