As I watch BBC news report on COP20, I started searching for the historical climate data in Nepal. I found a couple of sites from where the climate data could be extracted including WorldClim, but for quick data extraction National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) came handy. NCDC has record just for Kathmandu, unfortunately no other places in Nepal.
Downloaded the data and bit of Google Refine and ready to display.
