Utah Climate Center - The granddaddy of daily historical weather data. The Utah Climate Center has daily records for at least 5,000 locations (we lost count) spanning the globe, with some records dating back to the 19th century. If it's not on this site, it's not on the Internet. Data is current, usually to within six months, so we'd recommend it for data dating before the early 1990s.

The Weather Underground - This excellent site is old-school Internet, dating back to the early 1990s. Search for a forecast, and at the bottom of every forecast page, you'll find a drop-down menu that lets you check the daily minimum, maximum and average temperature, along with the conditions of the day. The records go from 1994 and current to within 24 hours.

When data on this site indicate a greater likelihood of freeze than the USDA cold hardiness map, gardeners would be well advised to develop a strategy for protecting their frost-sensitive plants. These maps are a good starting point, but do not provide you with everything you may need to know to react.
