Climate Resources? (ex. climate-data.org)

I was chatting with Ragul about different locations for setting up shop today (mostly around land prices) and stumbled upon this while looking into the climates of different regions:



...I really like how locations are categorized by climate classification. Seems like an interesting way to hunt for locations which meet climate criteria first and foremost, since a number of these places are completely unknown to me. For anyone who's still fully in the fantasy stage, pinning down a livable climate or two is probably a meaningful first step. As someone who grew up in a climate best described as "6 months of the year, if you go outside maybe you'll die so stay indoors all the time and burn tons of gas to keep the house a safe temperature" I really appreciate the value of *starting* with temperate climates. ;)

I'm curious if folks have stumbled upon other climate resources like this? It seems like a more sensible, data-driven approach than my current brainless, blindfolded-darts strategy of daydreaming out loud:

"Kodaikanal seems nice... have you ever been to Coonoor? Or Kotagiri? Is there somewhere like Coorg... but cheaper?" etc.

I'm sure there are a lot of data-driven systems here I've never even thought to consider.

How do you folks think about this stuff?
