<p>An interactive website called <a href="https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-23.26,63.63,405" rel="noreferrer">earth</a> has detailed weather data for the entire globe. Using this is similar to using Google Earth. You can adjust it for almost any weather data you need by clicking the "earth" icon and adjusting the date under each section. You can see the numerical data for a specific area by clicking the area on the globe with your mouse.</p>

A nice link, I didn't know you could seek through old weather data (I couldn't change the date in the controls other than using the -1 day tool... but could change the address... it appears to go back some point in 2013).  That said, this may not be the most straightforward way to answer the user's question about longterm climate typicals.

  <p>The Environmental Working Group (EWG) was established in June 1995
  under the framework of the U.S.-Russian Joint Commission on Economic
  and Technological Cooperation. In January 1996, the EWG Arctic
  Climatology Group took on the task of compiling digital data on arctic
  regions to expand scientific understanding of the Arctic. This work
  resulted in a set of three atlases on CD-ROM for arctic oceanography,
  sea ice, and meteorology. The Arctic Meteorology and Climate Atlas was
  developed by specialists from the Arctic and Antarctic Research
  Institute (AARI), St. Petersburg, Russia, the University of
  Washington, Seattle, and the National Snow and Ice Data Center,
  University of Colorado, Boulder. The Atlas contains three main
  sections: a history section, a 'Primer,' and a data section. The
  history section and Primer provide background and introductory
  information for newcomers to arctic meteorology, while the data
  section contains gridded fields of meteorological parameters, and
  newly released meteorological station data from Russian and other
  sources. In addition, the Atlas includes several English translations
  of Russian technical documents, and a glossary of meteorological terms
  in English and Russian. Users can download the CD-ROM from the NSIDC
  FTP site. NSIDC also distributes the EWG Joint .S.-Russian Atlas of
  the Arctic Ocean (Winter and Summer periods), and the EWG Joint
  U.S.-Russian Arctic Sea Ice Atlas.</p>
