Atmospheric data profiles based on 1991 to 2020 representative coordinates in Illinois
This climate profile presents twelve-month averages for Garden of the Gods Wilderness. Measurements include mean temperature, average precipitation rates, relative humidity, wind speed, and daylight duration derived from the 1991 to 2020 NASA POWER dataset. Data reflects long-term climatology at a single representative coordinate rather than current weather or park-wide conditions.

Analyzing twelve months of average minimum, mean, and maximum temperatures alongside daily precipitation rates.
Compare long term temperature bounds, precipitation rates, humidity, wind speeds, and daylight hours.
