Frequently asked questions

Everything people usually want to know about looking up past weather.

How do I find past weather for a specific date?
Type a city name, US ZIP code, or PIN, pick the date, and choose how far to look back (5–50 years). The past weather — temperature, rainfall, and snowfall — on that exact date appears for every year, with graphs, records, and averages. Results load automatically the moment you select a place.
Where does the weather data come from?
Historical data comes from the free Open-Meteo API, built on the ERA5 reanalysis dataset produced by ECMWF and used by meteorologists worldwide. It covers every location on Earth back to 1940. The "Latest" reading for the current year comes from Open-Meteo's live feed.
How accurate is it?
Reanalysis data blends weather station, satellite, and balloon observations into a consistent global model. Temperatures are typically within about 1°C of station records. Rain and snow for a single point can differ more from what one specific gauge measured, especially in mountains — treat precipitation as a solid indication rather than a legal record.
How far back can I go?
From 1940 up to about six days ago, anywhere in the world. Today's date is covered by the live weather feed, so you still get a "Latest" reading for the current year.
Can I get past weather data by ZIP code or PIN?
Yes — get past weather data by ZIP code by entering any 5-digit US ZIP (like 10001) or a 6-digit Indian PIN (like 110001) and pressing Enter. City, town, and village names work worldwide too, so lookups like past weather NYC, Chicago, or Delhi all work.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Completely free, no sign-up, no API key. The site runs entirely in your browser on open data from Open-Meteo, Zippopotam, and OpenStreetMap.
How to see past weather for any date?
To see past weather, enter a city, ZIP, or PIN at the top of this page, choose a date, and the recorded temperature, rain, and snow for that day appear instantly across the years you selected. There is nothing to install — it works right in your browser.
How to check past weather conditions?
To check past weather conditions, type a place and pick the date you want. You will see the high and low temperature, rainfall, snowfall, and a weather-condition icon for that exact day in every year of your look-back range, alongside record highs and lows.
How to look up past weather?
Look up past weather by searching any city name, US ZIP code, or Indian PIN, then selecting a date. PastWeatherInfo shows the past weather for that day year by year, so you can look up how a place has changed over the last 5 to 50 years.
How to find past weather data?
You find past weather data here by entering a location and date — the tool pulls temperature, rain, and snow figures from the ERA5 reanalysis dataset via Open-Meteo. You can then export that past weather data as a CSV file or copy a shareable link to the results.
How to view past weather radar?
PastWeatherInfo shows historical temperature, rainfall, and snowfall values rather than a past weather radar animation. Radar imagery loops are best viewed on national services such as the NWS, RainViewer, or a national met office. For the actual recorded numbers on a given date, use the search above.
Where can I find past weather data?
You can find past weather data right here — free, worldwide, and back to 1940 — just by entering a place and date. The underlying source is the open Open-Meteo archive built on ECMWF's ERA5 reanalysis, so the data is consistent and globally available.
What is past weather?
Past weather is the actual, recorded weather that occurred on a date that has already happened — the real temperature, rain, and snow — as opposed to a forecast, which is a prediction of weather still to come. This tool focuses entirely on past weather.
Why check past weather?
People check past weather to plan around seasonal patterns, settle "was it hotter last year?" debates, research a birthday or event, study climate trends, or decide the best time for a trip. Seeing many years at once makes patterns obvious that a single forecast cannot show.
When is past weather data available from?
Past weather data is available from 1940 up to about six days ago, for anywhere on Earth. Today's date is covered by the live feed, so the current year always has a "Latest" reading too.
Which places and dates can I look up past weather for?
You can look up past weather for any city, town, village, US ZIP code, or Indian PIN worldwide, on any calendar date from 1940 to today. Choose a 5, 10, 25, or 50-year look-back window to see that date across as many years as you like.
Who is PastWeatherInfo for?
Anyone curious about past weather — travellers, event planners, gardeners, students, researchers, and the simply curious. It is built to make past weather history easy to read at a glance, with no account and no cost.

Past weather history & data for any date, city, or ZIP code

PastWeatherInfo is a free online tool for looking up past weather — the real temperature, rain, and snow conditions that actually happened on any date in history. Most weather sites only show you the forecast for the days ahead. This one does the opposite: it rewinds the sky so you can see the past weather for a single day, then lines that day up across the last 5, 10, 25, or 50 years. In seconds you get a clear picture of past weather history for the place and date you care about, complete with interactive graphs, record highs and lows, and year-by-year averages.

Look up past weather today or years ago

Getting started takes three clicks. Type a place, pick a date, and choose how far back you want to look. The tool instantly loads the past weather conditions for that exact calendar day in every year of your chosen range. You can check the past weather today and compare it with the same date a decade or half a century ago, or pull up the past weather reports for a birthday, wedding, harvest, hike, or holiday. Because the numbers come from recorded history rather than a live prediction, they never change — the past weather information you see today will read the same next year.

Where the past weather data comes from

All historical readings are drawn from the free Open-Meteo API, which is built on the ERA5 reanalysis dataset produced by ECMWF and trusted by meteorologists worldwide. ERA5 blends weather-station, satellite, and weather-balloon observations into one consistent global model, giving reliable past weather data for every location on Earth back to 1940. Temperatures are typically within about 1 °C of official station records; rain and snow at a single point can vary more than a nearby gauge, so treat precipitation as a strong indication rather than a legal record. For the current year, the "Latest" figure is filled in from Open-Meteo's live feed so today is never a blank.

Past weather data by ZIP code, PIN, or city name

You can pull past weather data by ZIP code, by Indian PIN code, or by simply typing a place name. Enter a 5-digit US ZIP such as 10001 or a 6-digit PIN such as 110001 and press Enter, and the tool resolves it to the right coordinates automatically. Some of the most common searches are past weather NYC, past weather Chicago, and past weather Delhi, but every city, town, and village worldwide is supported. Whether you think of it as a past weather forecast in reverse, a weather time machine, or a historical weather archive, the answer is the same: real conditions for a real date.

Compare two places & export past weather information

Add a second location to compare the past weather conditions of two places side by side on the same chart — perfect for settling "which city is really hotter?" arguments, planning a move, or picking a destination. Switch between °C and °F with one tap, toggle light and dark mode, and read a plain-language summary table of average highs, average lows, record temperatures, and rainfall for both places. When you find something worth keeping, copy a shareable link that reopens the exact same view, export the past weather information as a CSV spreadsheet, or save the graph as an image. There is no sign-up, no API key, and no cost. PastWeatherInfo runs entirely in your browser on open data from Open-Meteo, Zippopotam, and OpenStreetMap, so your past weather lookups stay fast, private, and free — every time.
