Preferably a free site.

I’m interested in checking the exact date of an occurrence I was involved in last year. I have the general date in my memory, and I know that it was raining, but I’m not specifically certain of the date. Is there a site that will tell me what the weather was like fourteen months ago in my home town?

Thanks in advance.

Weather Underground has some place to search via you zip code for a personal weather station (PWS) near you. Then you can go back by date. I don’t know how to find the starting point but I have one bookmarked where I can get the weather about two miles from my home.
