On Monday, March 10, at 1pm ET, join Climate Central for the first in a series of data journalism webinars, walking through how journalists and storytellers can utilize trusted climate data tools to bring more clarity and context to the stories that connect climate change to our communities.

During this session, we'll focus on two widely used resources, ACIS (Applied Climate Information System) and NOAA's Climate at a Glance dashboard, walking through how they work and how you can put them to work in your reporting.

You'll learn how to find city-level observations, pull out key metrics like extreme heat days and heavy rain events — all connecting the weather impacts to the broader state, national, and global climate trends. We'll also look at real newsroom examples and cover how to export the data and build simple visuals that can support your accurate, engaging coverage. Link
