Welcome to the NRCC

Established in 1983, the Northeast Regional Climate Center (NRCC) is located in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University. It serves the 12-state region that includes: Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia. Major funding is provided through a contract with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Center's staff works cooperatively with the National Climatic Data Center, the National Weather Service, state climate offices, and other interested scientists in the Northeast to acquire and disseminate accurate, up-to-date climate data and information.

End of January Nor'easter

A strong nor'easter hit the region this last week of January. It brought heavy snow, blizzard conditions, hurricane force winds, and flooding causing road closures, flight cancelations and power outages. The map above depicts the storm totals, with highest amounts falling in Massachusetts.

NRCC supports a three-tiered national climate services support program.
The partners include: National Climatic Data Center, Regional Climate Centers, and State Climate Offices.
