When we switch to our new Climate page, there will be some changes to the menu located on the left-hand side of our web page:

The menu on the left has changed to the menu on the right. The only changes will be under the Climate section, where the Local Climate will link to our new Climate page. The extra links in the menu on the left will be found under the Local Data/Records tab (which will addressed in the next section).

The new Climate page will be organized using tabs across the top of the page. The next section of the How-To page will describe how information will be organized under each of the tabs.
