Default Great North Run - weather history

Hello

As usual, I'm turning to the font of weather knowledge that is
uk.sci.weather.

Where would I go to find out historic weather data for a specific date
and place, going back about 30 years?

I've been tasked with compiling a weather data chart showing how the
weather has changed on the day of the Great North Run since its
beginning.

By the way, this is for a projec.

Many thanks in advance

It's certainly my impression that the day of the GNR has usually
enjoyed excellent weather over the years (wasn't there a recent
occasion when there were problems (a fatality?) bought on by the
unusual heat)?
Difficult to pin it down as a particular date or singular period,
as the previous day was shocking for the junior run.
Must be the influence of St.Brendan.
Certainly shows that part of the country in a brilliant light,
both as regards the scenery and the people.
