The weather has a significant impact on crop growth. In the Indian agroecosystem information on the weather during a crop's growing season measured at the experimental site is scarce. We have compiled and harmonized meteorological data measured at the experimental sites for rice and spring wheat crop from various Indian agricultural institutes. These theses are available as pdf at the Krishikosh repository (https://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in). This dataset is the first of its kind, providing and combining weather data from several crop-growing regions. We are combining data from 83 theses related to rice and data from 64 theses related to spring wheat. These data are from 48 individual sites, a few of which have multiple growing seasons.
