"The public can no longer access the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) climate data because of the partial government shutdown, now in its second month.

Visitors to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) website are redirected to a page that says, "Access is not available at this time due to a lapse in appropriation.”

“NOAA.gov and specific NOAA websites necessary to protect lives and property are operational and will be maintained during this partial closure of the U.S. Government,” the page reads."
