I really like this website. Well presented and informative.

I have been daydreaming of creating something similar that enabled testing weather hypotheses that are often thrown around by the media.

E.g., "Heavy Vancouver Rainfall Due to Climate Change". It would be great to get rainfall information for that area graphed over the last X years.

Does anyone have pointers to useful datasets or APIs that could aid in creating such a tool or website?

Here is one (artic temperatures):

It's also quite useful in terms of seeing one aspect of the anomaly, in terms of temperature shift (compare 1958 with anything in the last 5 years)
