AgWeatherNet (AWN)
This website provides access to current and historical weather data from Washington State University’s automated weather station network along with a range of models and decision aids. The weather data, advisories, weather data products and decision support systems provided by AgWeatherNet and WSU can help improve production and product quality, optimize resource use and reduce environmental impact.
There are multiple automated weather stations located in Whatcom County (Lawrence, Lynden, Nooksack, Ten Mile and more). Standard AWN weather variables include air temperature, relative humidity, dew point temperature, soil temperature at 8 inches, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation and leaf wetness. These variables are recorded every 5 seconds and summarized every 15 minutes by a data logger.
