Bloomberg weather data -


we have bloomberg (bbg) data license subscription , want include weather data our application. however, found out while have current weather data, no weather data history available.

now, have hard time believing data provider big bbg offers no weather data history , assume standard support never understands problem, otherwise they'd work in development , not support. finally, sure not guy needing weather data history.

for these reasons ask if (and how) weather history (or weather forecast history) can obtained using bbg data license?

ps: not strictly dev topic assume people had type of problem (i.e., developers) know answer. management/support/whoever knows app "uses bbg data" not tickers, fields, ...

the short answer yes, can historical temperature data bloomberg , there ticker each series year , weather station.

i tried solve once. used terminal screen obtain graph of ytd daily temperature history (low,high,average) 10 calendar years zip code of interest, exported excel. think able deduce ticker column labels.

my application calculating degree-days , wanted spreadsheet refresh ytd data on opening. also, bloomberg's graph loaded same date range (jan 1-today date) current , past years , wanted complete past years. altered date ranges each series in spreadsheet (and lined month/day labels). end goal show when degree-day targets had been reached in past years, , progress far year.

so start out exploring relevant terminal functions, export data , see tickers are.

alternately, search examples in excel api, , search examples in bloomberg help. can find lot of hidden tickers , beta functions looking @ examples. tickers @ least have chance of working data license. (provided no provider or source fields involved.)
