DCR's Office of Water Resources maintains a precipitation database that is updated monthly using reports from our observers and cooperative agencies. Precipitation values in the database are totals for each station for each month. Snow and ice are melted and reported as inches of water.

Data from the Precipitation Database is currently available in Microsoft Excel format. Data is sorted alphabetically by station and then listed by year. Note: The unit used for precipitation data is inches.
