Dataset Description Florida experiences a wide range of weather hazards, including severe thunderstorms, damaging straight-line winds, hail, tropical cyclones, tornadoes, heavy rainfall, and coastal weather events. Historical information about these events is distributed across numerous observation systems, reports, analyses, radar products, and government archives. This dataset is designed to make selected Florida weather information easier to access in a structured format. Depending on the uploaded version and files included in this repository, records may represent one or more of the following: Daily or event-based weather summaries Estimated or analyzed peak wind speeds Measured wind observations Hail observations or hail-size estimates National Weather Service storm reports Severe-weather event dates Geographic coordinates Florida counties, cities, ZIP Codes, or other administrative areas Distances between an event or observation and a target location Weather-station information Radar-derived or model-derived weather variables Event classifications, confidence indicators, or source labels Each file should be interpreted according to its column definitions, source fields, units, and methodology notes. Users should not assume that every value represents a direct measurement at the exact listed location. Some records may be measured observations, while others may be reported, analyzed, interpolated, modeled, or radar-derived values. Purpose The dataset may be useful for: Historical weather and climatological research Severe-storm frequency analysis Wind and hail event exploration Geospatial mapping and visualization County-level or regional weather comparisons Statistical analysis of storm activity Training and evaluating weather-related data models Educational demonstrations involving tabular or time-series data Development of weather-search, reporting, or decision-support tools Preliminary investigation of dates associated with notable weather events StormAuditor's public website provides additional tools for users who need an interactive experience rather than direct access to raw or structured files. Visit https://www.stormauditor.com/ to search available weather information and explore storm history by location. The national state directory is available at https://www.stormauditor.com/storm-data/, and the dedicated Florida page is available at https://www.stormauditor.com/storm-data/fl/. Dataset Structure The exact structure depends on the files and release version stored in this repository. Common fields may include: Field Description date Date associated with the observation, analysis, or event timestamp Date and time, when available latitude Latitude in decimal degrees longitude Longitude in decimal degrees state State name or abbreviation county Florida county associated with the record city City or locality, when available zip_code ZIP Code, when available event_type General classification such as wind, hail, thunderstorm, tornado, tropical, or other wind_speed_mph Wind speed or gust value in miles per hour hail_size_in Hail diameter in inches, when available distance_miles Distance from an observation or event to a reference location source Dataset, agency, station, report, or product associated with the record source_type Indicates whether the value is measured, reported, analyzed, modeled, estimated, or radar-derived station_id Weather-station identifier, when applicable report_id Event or storm-report identifier, when applicable confidence Confidence category or quality indicator, when available notes Additional explanatory information Not every file will contain every field. Review the file headers and any repository-specific schema documentation before analysis. Data Sources and Provenance Records may incorporate or be derived from public and commercial weather resources. Depending on the release, these may include information associated with: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration The National Weather Service National Centers for Environmental Information NOAA surface-analysis products NOAA weather-station observations National Weather Service Local Storm Reports Storm Prediction Center products Radar-derived weather products Numerical weather analyses or models Other meteorological databases and licensed data providers The presence of a source name does not imply endorsement of StormAuditor by that source, agency, or organization. Users should consult the source, source_type, metadata, and documentation fields supplied with each record. Where practical, important findings should be checked against the original source data. Units Unless a file states otherwise: Wind speed is expressed in miles per hour. Hail size is expressed in inches. Distance is expressed in miles. Latitude and longitude use decimal degrees. Dates use an ISO-style format such as YYYY-MM-DD when possible. Times may be recorded in UTC or local time depending on the originating source. Always inspect the relevant file documentation before combining records from different sources. Measured, Reported, and Estimated Values Weather datasets frequently contain several kinds of information that should not be treated as interchangeable: Measured values are produced by an observing instrument or weather station. Reported values are submitted by trained spotters, emergency managers, the public, media, government personnel, or other observers. Analyzed values are created by combining observations with an objective weather-analysis system. Radar-derived values are calculated from remotely sensed radar information. Modeled values are generated by numerical weather models. Estimated values are inferred from available evidence and may not represent a direct instrument reading at a property. Users should preserve these distinctions when filtering, modeling, displaying, or drawing conclusions from the data. Geographic Scope The primary geographic scope of this repository is the State of Florida, United States. Some files may contain nearby observations outside Florida when those records are relevant to weather conditions near the state boundary or coastal areas. Coverage may vary by: County Date Weather hazard Observation network Reporting density Radar availability Station availability Source retention period Dataset version A lack of records for a location or date does not prove that no storm or hazardous weather occurred. Temporal Coverage Temporal coverage varies by file and source. Review the minimum and maximum dates in each uploaded file before use. Some sources provide long historical archives, while others are available only for more recent periods. Updates may be published periodically as new weather data becomes available, source archives are revised, or StormAuditor's processing methods are improved. Loading the Dataset Files may be downloaded directly from this repository or loaded with common Python data tools. For a CSV file:

import pandas as pd

file_path = "florida_weather_data.csv"
df = pd.read_csv(file_path)

print(df.head())
print(df.columns)
print(df.dtypes)

For a Parquet file:

import pandas as pd

file_path = "florida_weather_data.parquet"
df = pd.read_parquet(file_path)

print(df.head())
print(df.info())

To load a compatible repository through the Hugging Face datasets library, replace the example repository name with the actual account and dataset slug:

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("YOUR-HUGGING-FACE-USERNAME/YOUR-DATASET-SLUG")
print(dataset)

Example Analysis The following example filters records for wind values at or above 50 mph. Column names should be adjusted to match the uploaded file:

import pandas as pd

weather = pd.read_csv("florida_weather_data.csv")

high_wind = weather[
    pd.to_numeric(weather["wind_speed_mph"], errors="coerce") >= 50
].copy()

high_wind = high_wind.sort_values("date", ascending=False)
print(high_wind.head(20))

Example county summary:

county_summary = (
    weather.groupby("county", dropna=False)
    .size()
    .reset_index(name="record_count")
    .sort_values("record_count", ascending=False)
)

print(county_summary.head(20))

Intended Uses Appropriate uses include research, education, exploratory analysis, mapping, software development, and preliminary weather-history investigation. This dataset may also be used to create charts, dashboards, search tools, and machine-learning prototypes, provided users accurately describe the data and do not portray estimates as direct measurements. For a user-friendly address-level research experience, use the tools available through the StormAuditor weather research platform. Additional state and regional pages are available through the national storm-data directory, including dedicated pages for Florida storm history, Georgia storm history, and Alabama storm history. Out-of-Scope and Discouraged Uses This dataset should not be used by itself to: Conclude that physical property damage occurred Determine insurance coverage or legal liability Establish a definitive date of loss without supporting evidence Replace an on-site inspection Replace a certified meteorological analysis Replace engineering, legal, insurance, or professional advice Represent an estimated value as a direct measurement Issue emergency warnings or make real-time life-safety decisions Train systems that conceal the source, uncertainty, or nature of the data Official watches, warnings, forecasts, and emergency instructions should be obtained from the National Weather Service and appropriate public-safety authorities. Limitations Weather information is inherently affected by observational and methodological limitations. Important limitations may include: Weather stations are not located at every address. Wind conditions can vary over short distances because of terrain, buildings, vegetation, storm structure, and instrument exposure. Hail can be highly localized and may occur between observing locations. Storm reports are more common in populated or easily accessible areas. Some reports are estimated rather than instrument measured. Radar beams sample the atmosphere above ground level and may not directly represent surface conditions. Models and analyses have finite spatial and temporal resolution. Source data can be revised after initial publication. Missing data does not establish the absence of an event. Values from different sources may use different averaging periods, quality-control procedures, units, or definitions. Users are responsible for selecting appropriate methods and communicating uncertainty. Biases and Reporting Density Storm-report databases can reflect population density, observer availability, road access, communication infrastructure, and public awareness. Urban areas may produce more reports than rural areas even when similar weather occurs. Station-based datasets can overrepresent conditions near airports and established observation sites. Analyses should account for these differences before comparing raw report counts between counties, cities, or time periods. Data Quality StormAuditor may apply quality-control, normalization, deduplication, geographic matching, or source-classification procedures before publication. These processes can improve usability but cannot eliminate all source errors or inconsistencies. Users who identify a possible data issue should retain the affected record, source name, date, location, and file version when reporting it. Versioning and Updates Dataset releases may change as: New dates are added Source archives are updated Duplicate records are removed Geographic matching is improved Processing methods are revised New variables or source fields are introduced Errors are corrected For reproducible research, record the repository revision, file name, download date, and dataset version used in your analysis.
