The Rand-MacNally guide which rates places to live in the USA
has these kind of climate statistics amongst many others.
I can lend you my copy if you wish.

Ramesh,  You can find monthly average temperatures, by city, for American
cities in the World Almanac, which the Hunt reference librarian can point
you to.  The daily paper will give you the figures for month to date and
bove "normal".   March will be much warmer, if it isn't colder.
     I am curious: why is your computer named "Faraday"?

Various sorts of Almanacs have this kind of information.  I know that
the Places Rated Almanac has it for many cities across the US, and
there is a copy in the reserve section at Hunt Library.

The "Weather Bureau" in the Federal Building, Grant Street, Downtown will
(for a nominal fee like $1 per page) sell you the daily average temperature
for every day in a given month in a given year.  They have this data going
back to about 1880.  If you are interested in some kind of long term average
say the average temperature on February 18 (averaged over the last thirty
years), they have this also.  Just for the record the average temperature for
February (averaged over all the days in February in the last thirty years) is
about 32 degrees and this monthly average increases until September so now is
the time to break out and feel happy.

Hi Ramesh,
	The average temperature for January is 28F. Is supposed to be
the coldest month of the year in Pittsburgh. But this is so misleading
that it is more of an exception than the rule for the past three years
that I have been here. So who cares about these figures anyway?

The source of this info is NBC's what's the weather outside.

Any decent almanac should have the information.

>From the 1982 World Almanac...

Pittsburgh Monthly Normal Temperatures, 1941-1971 inclusive:

J 28
F 29
M 38
A 50
M 60
J 69
J 72
A 70
S 64
O 53
N 41
D 31

By my reckoning, this averages out to 50 degrees F close as dammit.
