The best truly local* and best recorded old weather reports I ever got were from a local Primary School.
The kit they used was pretty state of art at an affordable level and all computer logged and was only 200 yards from where I needed the weather reports.
Cost me a hand in pocket for the school funds but stopped a serious Contact dispute.

*Then I found out the Met Office keep records for Greenwich Observatory, 300 yards away. Doh!
