There's no decent and detailed weather on the net! Even things such as historical and forecast degree days, and integrated average temperatures are unavailable. This sort of thing could be incredibly helpful to anyone that wants to plan ahead.

Generally, all we seem to get is high/low temp, wind, precip, and advertising.

Where's the rest of the weather info? Any decent computerized weather station can compute these things if you want it to, and forecasting via models is the stock in trade of these sites.

Any ideas?

I just tried this site, and have dealt with Wunderground for years, but neither has a forecast of degree days and integrated average temperatures. The simple average of high and low is nearly worthless, and even an hourly integrated average would be useful and allow conversion to degree days. DD's for each day of the forecast (H-65) should be routine during anytime other than summer.

I just looked over Wunderground again. I couldn't find a single reference to degree days. Perhaps TPTB have put restrictions on publishing this info.
