Is there a way to perform batch interpolation in ArcGIS from 1 excel file?

I have an excel file with station weather data. For each station, for each year (70 years), I have temperature data, as well as associated latitude and longitude of the stations. I want to create interpolated raster maps (using IDW) for each year for temperature.

My excel files are set up like this, but with 70 years of data:

I would therefore like 70 interpolated maps for each year of temperature. It also may be important to note that the stations for each year are not all the same.

I am willing to try to do this as a batch process in ArcGIS, but find that can be tedious. Is there a faster way to do this through arcpy?

The station's coordinates are in lat, long. Does this mean that they are in degrees decimal?
