To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of Lake Charles and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate. KCWF, 68% 4 mi, 7 ft KLCH, 31% 6 mi, -3 ft KDRI, 2% 44 mi, 194 ft © OpenStreetMap contributors Beauregard Regional Airport (KDRI, 1.7%, 44 mi, north, 194 ft elevation change).Lake Charles Regional Airport (KLCH, 31%, 6 mi, south, -3 ft elevation change).Chennault International Airport (KCWF, 68%, 3.7 mi, east, 7 ft elevation change).The stations contributing to this reconstruction are: The estimated value at Lake Charles is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Lake Charles and a given station. There are 3 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Lake Charles.įor each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Lake Charles according to the International Standard Atmosphere, and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations. This report illustrates the typical weather in Lake Charles, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from Januto December 31, 2016.
