As long as the weather data meets the requirements according to Rule 7C which stipulates that it must be publicly available to use by all participants at no cost to the participants, it is fine to use.
\nA possible source for such weather data could include data I pulled using MeteoStat that is available on both GitHub and here on Kaggle.
