Wunderground.com question for historical weather

I'm planning a trip to Spain next year and checking daily history for the towns/cities we plan to visit to chose the timing of our October trip. Not sure if I'm doing this wrong or if these are the defaults when looking at history. For example, when I plug in Ronda, then go to the history button, it switches to Moron Air Base, which from what I'm seeing is quite aways from Ronda. Another example, Nerja goes to Granada when I try to pull up history.

Any experiences that might help/figure out what I'm doing wrong are greatly appreciated! Or if there's another website I can visit for history. Thanks so much!

I tried my favorite online weather resource for Ronda and Nerja and they weren't listed there either.

So I just Googled a bit and found this climate for Spain website. You can select your towns from a long list. You can fiddle around with the site and probably find almost any location. You can flip back and forth between °C and °F if you want.

BTW, thanks for asking this question. I'm hoping to go to Spain next year and I bookmarked this for me.

I've had that happen, too. I assume it's because they don't have daily stats (or whatever you were asking for) for the specific towns you chose. Do be sure you are giving the website time to respond, however. It's often quite slow for me, and I'm not sure whether the problem is on their end or mine (slow broadband connection and memory issues on this computer).

Yes, while Wunderground can be very helpful, it can also be very wonky.

Just saw acraven post about a website called timeanddate.com on the Italy forum, and think this might also work for historical weather for Spain! Look under 'yesterday/past weather'.

Yes, at least for awhile I'm going to switch to timeanddate.com. Wunderground is really driving me nuts these days, though I admit that I have a rather slow DSL connection, which may be a factor.

I know there are some folks who discovered timeanddate.com before I did and mentioned it here. I also learned about wunderground.com on this forum. So many good tools out there.
