Kia ora - I hope you are all well

Background

Some time ago I encountered a website that:
a) stored weather history for 15 or more years for so many localities (large and very small) around the world
b) for those localities, provided comprehensive information down to days, weeks, months and years

I fully understand detail about the past is not forecasts for the future.

For localities that knew, I found the guidance was helpful.

And I forgot to transfer the link bookmark.

I have done quite a search these past few hours, including this Forum.

I have not been able to find anything remotely like that which I used some time ago.

My Question

Is anyone able to make suggestions?

I would love to see you write a report in 5 years or so regarding the impact of how the weather patterns have or have not changed, especially in Spain.
I lived in Biarritz for about 7 years and the weather patterns were totally unpredictable from anything like a nice winter to foul winter depending on the year. Rainy spring to heaven on earth, flip a coin and that why we say the Basque Coutry is always so green. It's the rain, rain and more rain.
I also knew I could predict a major disturbance in the North America would cross the Atlantic and stir things up in the Bay of Biscay, but this latest storm doesn't fit into that kind of pattern.
It is obvious that our climate is changing but how fast and in what way?
I live in a place in Florida that I have been coming to since the mid-70's. I can categorically say the average tide level is at least one to two feet higher today. It has never topped the seawall but it is getting closer during full moon.

Cool site! Thanks for the link. I am particularly interested in the precipitation information. I can drill down to the historic % chance of rain on my start date at SJPP, which is 30%.

I found this site recently, it is a 45-day forecast, this one is for Rome but it is also available for my small town in California, so perhaps it is widespread. I have no idea how accurate it is, or where they get the data. I have been told by a meteorologist that long-term forecasts are driven by historical data more than by actual measurements (weather ballons and the like) which makes sense to me. With any model it is garbage in, garbage out, but if they update the long-term forecast as actual recent measurements become available then it is as good as any other weather prediction, with the advantage of the longer-term predictions based on historical data.

Thank you.

I tried the link.

As soon as the first screen loaded (it looked like English), a rather daunting message not in English was displayed. A translation said this was in Polish and it appeared to be about cookies.

Out of an abundance of caution, I decided to abandon further use.
