NIWA provides a multitude of monitoring and information services underpinning New Zealand's science and environmental management: sky-to-sea, sensor-to-service, data-to-knowledge.
New Zealand's National Climate Database
The climate database holds data from about 6500 climate stations which have been operating for various periods since the earliest observations were made in the year 1850. The database continues to receive data from over 600 stations that are currently operating.
