DSI-9641C include climatological normals based on monthly maximum, minimum, and mean temperature and monthly total precipitation records for each year in the 30-year period 1971-2000.

In addition, a station had to be active since January 1, 1999, or had to be included as a normals station in the 1961-1990 normals. This product includes normals of average monthly and annual maximum, minimum and mean temperature (degree F), monthly and annual total precipitation (inches), and heating and cooling degree days (base 65 degrees F).
