I have a school report to do where I need to know the weather conditions in Oklahoma City, OK on October 17th and 18th. I need to know all the details that I can like temperature, wind speed, cloud cover, humidity...where would I find that information? My teacher told us to look on noaa.gov but I can't find anything to do with past weather conditions! Please help!

you could try the weather channel, previous almanacs. look up specific weather events by dates and location. try key word searching like tornados in colorado during 1959. try encyclopedias, and wikipedia online as well it is a good place to look. the local libray will probably have different types of encyclodpedia's and dictionaries for different languages and different events. some may even have specific section for weather and things pertaining to it. good luck.

you are welcome. you would be surprised at how much information is in the almanac. it can tell how to grow food in your garden like when the best time to plant would be. it could also tell you when the best to cut your hair would be depending on whether or not you want to grow or not to grow. good luck with your report.

Did you try weather.com. Perhaps you can get a hold of old newspapers at the library.

Thank you for your help. I found a little on weather.com and I was hoping I wouldn't have to use newspapers. I found what I needed though, thank you!!!
