History of weather Observations

2012 marked 50 years of weather observations from Holden Village. The station began on June 2, 1962, and the National Weather Service presented Holden with an Honored Institution Award this summer.

National Weather Service (NWS) Cooperative Observer Program (COOP)
Holden Village provides the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration daily readings from our weather station, located next to the Holden School. Weather data is gathered each morning by volunteers and transmitted electronically to the National Weather Service office in Spokane, Washington. This data is also posted in the dining hall, updated on the Holden Web site, and retained for Village records. What is the Coop Program?
