WorldClim
Listed in Climateverse
WorldClim is a website that contains a database of high spatial resolution global weather and climate data.
Description
This data can be used for mapping and spatial modeling. The data is provided for use in research and related activities.
The website contains three types of data. First, ""historical climate data (WorldClim version 2.1)"" contains 19 “bioclimatic” variables related to temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, wind speed, and water vapor pressure. These data are available for 1970-2000 period at a spatial scale of ~1 km2 (30 seconds) gridded area.

These data are constructed from multiple data sources. Second, the “Historical monthly weather data” contains historical monthly weather data for 1960-2018. These data are downscaled from CRU-TS-4.06 by the Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, using WorldClim 2.1 for bias correction.
The variables available are average minimum temperature (°C), average maximum temperature (°C) and total precipitation (mm). The lowest spatial resolution at which the data is available is 2.5 minutes (~21 km2 at the equator). Third, “Future climate data” contains CMIP6 downscaled future climate projections.
The downscaling and calibration (bias correction) was done with WorldClim v2.1 as baseline climate. Monthly values of minimum temperature, maximum temperature, and precipitation were processed for 23 global climate models (GCMs), and for four Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs): 126, 245, 370 and 585. The monthly values were averages over 20 year periods (2021-2040, 241-2060, 2061-2080, 2081-2100).
The lowest spatial resolutions at which the data is available is 30 seconds.
