>> Have you found another source that can provide custom history reports?
I just finished downloading the 2019 hourly and daily weather data for my location from Darksky (https://darksky.net/forecast/39.2277,-121.0554/us12/en).
I am using the Darksky API (https://darksky.net/dev/docs#forecast-request) and Python to retrieve, append and process the data..
It took me a few days since Etienne Tardif's first post, because of the daily limit on free use (max. 1000 weather hours a day per API key [1 API key per mail address]).
(url = f"https://api.darksky.net/forecast/{key}/{lat},{lon},{iso}?exclude={excl}&extend=hourly&units=si" with excl = "currently,minutely,alerts,flags")
You can find the result here: http://www.vanhevel.eu/darksky_plot_2019.html.
I should have started downloading 2017 i/o 2019, as 2019 was not a tremendous year for my 1 DIY electronic hive (Arduino Yun + C++ & Python + free Plotly + free Heroku account).
The (interpolated) Darksky temperatures correspond very well with my own measurements (I compared the Darksky temperatureMax with my own temperature_outside).
Darksky probably uses official weather stations and airports to get raw data, and these are only 40 to 100 km's away from my location.
I am searching for a local pollen/nectar calendar to complete my model (a temperature of 16°C is not enough for a bee to find nectar, you also need the plants ;-) ).
As Etienne indicated, it should be possible to compare locations for a given year, or years for a given location, using weather data only (+ a pollen/nectar calendar).
