Are there any websites out there which keeps a record of the local weather in the past? I need a global one.

I will need an international one as I live in Malaysia.

NCDC has lots of climate data, both global and historical. Much of it is free (with certain licensing restrictions), some of it costs money.

Start here:

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/climatedata.html

I'm guessing the Surface Data: Daily or Surface Data: Monthly sections will be most useful to you. The amount of data that's available, and how far back it goes, depends a lot on the country, but some of it goes back as far as 1800.

What you'll want is to use the GSOD (Global Summary of the Day) data provided by the NOAA. It includes rainfall/temperature/wind/snow depth for tens of thousands of locations worldwide. You can find it below:

http://cdo.ncdc.noaa.gov/CDO/wmores40.jsp?page=http://www7.ncdc.noaa.gov/CDO/cdoselect.cmd?datasetabbv=GSOD%26countryabbv=%26georegionabbv=

You'll need to click "I Agree" on the first page. Everything there is free.

NOAA's website - I work at a weather derivatives firm, so I work with this data on a day-to-day basis. It's definitely a valuable and credible source!
