NOTE

You need to select the rain gages from the map and not from the dropdown boxes. The dropdown boxes do not work and you will save the same rain gage file multiple times.

Rain Gage File

The rainfall gages go from 1990 - 2019. The format is the same as our rainfall.dat files. This is Gage Id, Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, rainfall value. The rainfall data in these files is hourly.

Climate Change

This is the first page that we do not have a similar page for. Therefore I have documented this a little more.

Saving the XML style data

Outlook will not allow you to download the file. Yahoo does not have that problem. This is not an INP file. It is just an XML. I have not seen any location where an INP file is generated. SWC XML file
