I would like to see how big is the correlation between weather and visits to our website, but I can't seem to find any database that has option of downloading chosen datasets. Any ideas?
To be specific I am talking about Poland / Europe.

1This data request seems to broad. What specific weather parameters are you looking for? How will it be used in your BI software?– KermitCommented Jul 8, 2013 at 13:26

Temperature and rain. I wanted to see how big is the possitive correlation between above average temperature/rain and visits to our website (or at least try to do that).– MattCommented Jul 9, 2013 at 8:28

Could you please update your question accordingly to make it clear what exactly you are looking for?– Patrick HoeflerCommented Jul 10, 2013 at 17:58

Also, have you already looked at opendata.stackexchange.com/q/365/70?– Patrick HoeflerCommented Jul 10, 2013 at 18:45

Two resources:
- https://developer.forecast.io/ (free for low use, then paid after that)
- http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/#t=secondTabLink
The NOAA data is used by a developer in Chicago to explore the correlation between weather and crime.

welcome on opendata stack exchange. I have moved your link to your answer directly. You can edit, enrich your answer any time. It is also appreciated when user disclose when they are developers of a tool or application they promote here. Commented Jul 12, 2013 at 14:30

For accessing NOAA data you can also use Microsoft's Azure Open Datasets - azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/open-datasets/catalog/… Commented Sep 21, 2019 at 13:42
Wunderground has an API with historical weather (link). You can get 500 free API requests per day, so you have to be patient if you want to go back years. I found for my location a detailed daily history going back to 1997 (high temp, low temp, mean temp, precipitation amount, plus way more).
update: the reason I post this now is that the Wunderground API includes international weather (and not just US).
I did something similar to Chris Gansen for Portland, OR. I downloaded the crime datasets from Portland's open data portal (www.civicapps.org) and the corresponding weather data from NOAA.
I then created a new CSV dataset from the originals where I added fields for temperature mean, percipitation and snowfall, and posted them for other developers to use:

I know it's a late answer. But I recently had the same question. During my research I found this site:
They describe themself as
Meteostat is an open platform which provides free access to historical weather and climate data.
There's a own python library and a JSON API available (2022-07-18).
I found that for my locations of interest the last few months (~4) aren't available.
For all the ones looking for a simple and free way to get historical weather data this is the best source I found.
