Climate Information
Can anyone point me towards a website that provides weather information for specific destinations. I'm looking of info for Oz. I've tried the Weather Channel and I'm looking for other websites. Thanks.

I don't know if Iwantanupgrade is looking for short-term weather forecasts or for information about long-term trends. What if you know that you want to take a vacation trip to Oz, but don't know in what month it would be best to go? How can you find out about things like average temperature, rainfall, percentage of sunny days, etc.?

I have no idea how I managed to post this message twice, nor how to get rid of the duplicate. Sorry.

Thanks Jakeman thats exactly what I'm looking for. We are going in April and I've checked out the weather channel site but was told by a friend's husband(Aussie) that the temperture ranges they were showing were not accurate so I'm looking to verify them.

Here's a historical weather database for almost anywhere in the world that you might be going:
