Does anyone know of a good web page somewhere that would give me data on the weather in the various cities in Florida for a range of time? Say several years worth?

Even better, one that I could use to compare cities in Florida with say...cities in Texas or Arizona.

Weather is a big criteria for me in terms of deciding upon the city to make my permanent residence in.

Thanks.

Noaa is a good one, you can go back to 2003. This link is set for Miami (so you need to change it for other cities) National Weather Service Climate

Click on Preliminary Climatology Data and then on Archived Data, and then you can pick the month and year and it will give you day by day what the temps were, the rain, humidity, etc.

Thanks very much to you both! I had a look see at both sites and it seems like the latter one is more in line with what I am looking for. Only it seems to have only four cities that can tracked for years past.

I'll have to play with it some more...maybe tommorrow.

By the way...it seems like my old stomping grounds of Melbourne on the East coast is getting slammed, rain wise. Glad I am up here at this time of year I guess.

Thanks again.

Thanks InsureLance but there doesn't seem to be any historical weather data associated with the links you listed.

Thanks billymillennium but, I am not looking for yet another weather web site that dissects the current weather in a thousand ways. I am looking for a web site that shows the weather over a period of years for a given city such that I can then compare the weather in various cities in Florida. So that I can pick the best city with the best overall weather for further research in terms of whether I might want to settle there. An easy to use web site with historical data that is imminently readable by someone such as me - who is not a metereologists or other weather professional.

So far...I have not found any good site for such...yet. Some sites suggested here are okay for a few cities but none contain historical weather date for any and all cities in the central Florida region - never mind all of Florida.

I don't know if Florida is like this but in certain parts of where I am, the weather can be significantly different from one city to the next depending on which side of a mountain range or coast a city is on. That's the kind of info I am looking to find about cities in Florida.

Does Melbourne have better weather than Clearwater? Overall? Can that be proven by going back several years and looking at historical weather data? That kind of stuff.
