First of all,
the National Centers for Environmental Information
is the official data keeper for climate records here in the U.S.
Like anything related to government, it's a bureaucracy; and as crazy as
it might sound, statistics can and do change for reasons probably best
known to the bureaucracy itself.

Having said this:  Here are some web resources.

Wikipedia, believe it or not, can be a good resource for historical climate
averages and extremes for places.  A typical search for a city often
includes weather information tables which go beyond temperatures because
there is far more than temperaturesthat tell us what an area's climate is.
Is it rainy and when; sthat dreaded 4-letter word "snow,"
what about cloudiness or sunny days --you get the point.

The National Weather Service daily reports daily stats for hundreds of
cities at

For monthly averages for places in the US:

For places outside the US, there is

Search engines like Google, DudkDuckGo, and Bing
are the search tools to use, not a smart speaker like the Echo.
Don't get me wrong!  There are a lot of things I use ALEXA for; but
serious research is hardly one of them.  Using an Echo
for that is akin to using a small tree branch as a hammer.
  It might work occasionally, but that is it.
The online search engines will point you to places to look at.
