CIMIS
The California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS) is a program managed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) that operates a network of over 150 automated weather stations throughout California. CIMIS provides free access to reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and weather data via a RESTful Web API, enabling agricultural professionals, water managers, irrigation consultants, and researchers to retrieve daily and hourly station data—including solar radiation, air temperature, soil temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed, wind direction, vapor pressure, dew point temperature, and grass reference evapotranspiration—as well as spatial ETo and solar radiation data across a statewide 2 km grid.
