Had you gone to noaa.gov, and clicked on climate, it appears that they want to now charge you $3/yr for the service.
I'm getting DNS not found errors from anything in NOAA.GOV.
flushed my dns cache, now its working, whack.
anyways, 'climate' refers to historical averages by location/month/week/date. presumably the API involved here was for current weather conditions and forecast.
wait, that noaa.gov $3/person is saying thats what the National Weather service costs to provide annually. its not a fee.
anyways, here's the bulletin saying the old weather.noaa.gov web api is discontinued http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/notification/scn16-16wngccb.htm
the raw data is now distributed here, http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/
