  description: 'Monthly climate summaries derived from [Daymet](https://daymet.ornl.gov)
    Version 4 daily data at a 1 km x 1 km spatial resolution for five variables: minimum
    and maximum temperature, precipitation, vapor pressure, and snow water equivalent.
    Annual averages are provided for minimum and maximum temperature, vapor pressure,
    and snow water equivalent, and annual totals are provided for the precipitation
    variable.


    [Daymet](https://daymet.ornl.gov/) provides measurements of near-surface meteorological
    conditions; the main purpose is to provide data estimates where no instrumentation
    exists. The dataset covers the period from January 1, 1980 to the present. Each
    year is processed individually at the close of a calendar year. Data are in a
    Lambert conformal conic projection for North America and are distributed in Zarr
    and NetCDF formats, compliant with the [Climate and Forecast (CF) metadata conventions
    (version 1.6)](http://cfconventions.org/).

    to cite your usage of the data.


    This dataset provides coverage for Hawaii; North America and Puerto Rico are provided
    in [separate datasets](https://planetarycomputer.microsoft.com/dataset/group/daymet#monthly).
