All I seem to have from Weather Cat is the hourly data for each day in PDF files, about 900 files. I have not tried to find the database to see if minute-by-minute is available back to 2014. Is it possible to "fudge" the hourly data to make it look like hourly readings? Should not be too difficult with python. Fudged data is better than no data.
