Apropos of which, I wonder if there exists anywhere a day-by-day listing of

I think a lot of us would like something like that, especially climate
change researchers!! Unfortunately widespread records only go back about
150 years or so, with a few notable local exceptions.

In addition to Booty's weather site, it may be interesting to see these
other websites:
