There used to be a really nice website that allowed you to scroll and scale years worth of historical weather for any location. Also allowed you to prepare average annual graphs.
It fell into disrepair after Flash was killed off, and the maintainer wasn't able to commit time to porting it over to a new platform.
I figure that the commodification of weather data is the real reason why it hasn't been replaced with a viable alternative.

- CalRobert 2y agoStill is! But it used to have much more
