As stated on the website, NOAA National Centres for Environmental Information (NCEI) is the world’s largest provider of weather and climate data.
Datasets available: land-based, marine, model, radar, weather balloon, satellite, paleoclimatic etc. Detailed descriptions of the available products and platforms are here.
Examples of datasets we can use that come to mind as first approximation:
ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ushcn/v2.5/ - data by US Historical Climatology Network available via FTP. There are datasets on precipitation, max, min and avg temperature. @SlinkoIgor I can't unfortunately say for sure whether we can process such files (and regularly visit the server for the updates to parse), can you advise? I couldn't open a file to see the structure, but judging by the description, information is grouped in accordance with the stations, each having latitude and longitude. Does it mean we will be able to match them with the districts?
Model data can be of use because, judging by the description, it's gridded temporally and spatially.
On the whole, we can choose all among types of datasets provided by NOAA NCEI to see which works best.
