It appears that we now have another tool for trawling news archives:

I wonder if Reuters could come up with something. I wonder if they
have data banks worth trawling.

Weather: Periodicals: Newspapers: Magazines: Britain: then the
subject. eg snow.

I gather that you can look up certain subjects in their regular search
engine by specifying a specific with a colon. I only know one such
genus is:

And one that isn't:

Of course, what is not interesting is the weather in the UK! Poor
