Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) by PRISM Climate group Oregon State temperature, precipitation 4km daily weather variable grids that I have converted to daily county FIPS, ZIP Code, and census tract summaries for use in several papers.
Available for download (see Data below) in RDS (compact) format. csv available on request.
In Python it is easy to load RDS files and much more compact files than csvs too.
Note that ZIP Code throughout is actually ZIP Code Tablulation Area (ZCTA), which was developed to overcome the difficulties in precisely defining the land area covered by each ZIP Code. Defining the extent of an area is necessary in order to tabulate census data for that area.
Current data covers during 1981-2021.
