Those data are signed 16bit data, but QGIS ( and many other applications ) will load the data as 16bit-unsigned. So values will appear to be 0 to +65,535, when they should be from −32,768 to +32,767. You will need to convert from bil to a different format like geotiff. It is a common problem people run into with these data, I really wish they would use a different data format.

Hi,

I am new to GIS in general and QGIS in particular...

I am trying to read in QGIS WorldClim datasets 
(http://www.worldclim.org/current) as raster, it does read it, but it seems 
that it is not getting the proper value scales...

Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance,

Nüzhet
