There are thousands of web sites where you can get weather information. Let me suggest a few that focus on weather data for the local area.

The Delaware State Climatologist, Dr. Dan Leathers, has plenty of historical weather information for many places in Delaware, including Wilmington, Dover, and Newark. His page is www.udel.edu/leathers/stclim.html.

For a mix of real-time and historical information, check out the local National Weather Service Office in Mount Holly, NJ, at www.nws.noaa.gov/er/phi/.

I'll have more great weather sites in future Franklin Facts.
