About Climate Hazards Center Data Archive
The Climate Hazards Center Data Archive is a web collection of datasets from the Climate Hazards Center at UC Santa Barbara. It lists gridded precipitation and temperature products developed by the center, with links to background information, data files, and diagnostics.
Visitors can review descriptions for products such as CHIRPS v3 and v2 rainfall, CHIRPS-GEFS rainfall forecasts, CHPclim precipitation climatology, CHIRTS temperature, CHIRTS-ERA5 temperature and heat metrics, CHGPS monthly precipitation, and CHC-CMIP6 projections. Coverage varies by product, with several starting in the early 1980s and continuing to near present. The site also points to instructions for automated and bulk downloads at data.chc.ucsb.edu.
The archive suits researchers, analysts, and students working on rainfall monitoring, drought, temperature extremes, and climate hazards who need direct access to dataset documentation and download routes.

Climate Hazards Center Data Archive FAQ
What is CHIRPS v3?
CHIRPS v3 is a quasi-global rainfall dataset from 1981 to near present. It combines 0.05° satellite imagery with station data.
How do I bulk download Climate Hazards Center data?
The site directs users to data.chc.ucsb.edu for automated and bulk download instructions.
What is the difference between CHIRPS v2 and v3?
CHIRPS v3 spans 60°N-60°S and CHIRPS v2 spans 50°S-50°N. Production of v2 will continue in parallel through 2026 during the transition to v3.
