http://www.averageweather.io - get average weather data, fast. Great for planning vacations, weddings, which marathon to pick etc.

I shared on r/weddingplanning and it shot to the top which was exciting. Made $20 in Adsense and had 2k visits in one day.

I've also had some tweets from people with 100k+ following, so for around a week now I am averaging like 300 uniques a day.

So, now I ask, how can I make some real side cash? All ears.

Can you handle queries over a few months? It would be nice to handle the use case: I'm looking at planning a vacation to Place X in July, August, or September, and quickly discern whether the weather is better at any certain week in that period.
So you'd want to search like all of July at once, and so on? Is that right?
Yeah, something like being able to know when over the course of the summer, say perhaps 3 months, temperatures in Miami are warm but not excessively hot. I really like to travel at the tails of top season for this reason, but that's really just a proxy in place of knowing the above.

Lonely Planet offers something like this [1], but it would be nice if the data were more granular than one high/low for each month and data sources were more transparent.

Please ignore the footer bug, but something like this? http://www.averageweather.io/monthly/boston/ma/10/
Exactly. The chart is really nice.
