Default Detailed historical weather data

Hello everybody,

I have searched a lot in the internet about sources for historical
weather data.

I have found www.wunderground.com, which provides a great service and
seems to be what I was looking for.

Unfortunately, the temperatures are given only in whole degrees
centigrade. I need temperature data with some more detail, i.e. given in
decimals of a degree.
Ex: I need the temperatures given as 18.3°C instead of just 18°C

I would be very very grateful if somebody could give me some suggestion
or advise!
Jens

Nice to hear about this website. I will likely bookmark it. I am
curious under what conditions you could rely on such precise
measurements??? You seem to be looking for longer term trends and
at the same time I see some remarkable differences in how temperature
readings are taken (location, hight from ground, sample rate, etc).
Do you actually make use of this precision, or is this something your
software expects, that you do not make use of? Of course, there are
more ticks on the F scale, but in this case, maybe rounding to nearest
0.5 degrees C gives about same?
