Can any of you recommend a website via which I can determine historical clear sky probability for a given location (Monterey Bay Area and Carmel Valley) throughout an entire year?  I am trying to identify potential weekend dates for my local astronomy club's 2025 event schedule.  I can determine moon phase/location and planet visibility throughout the year.  But I have no resource for long-term local weather predictability.

Thanks in advance for help.

And to provide some more info:  You can take any existing Clear Sky Chart page and see the historical data e.g. take:  

https://www.cleardarksky.com/c/TulaOBCAkey.html

and change it to:  

https://www.cleardarksky.com/clmt/c/TulaOBCAct.html

i.e. add "/clmt" and replace "key" with "ct"

Thank you, Steve!

I was at that website before I posted my original query, but I was not familiar enough with that site's features to find the history-based forecasts.  Your response pointed me in the correct direction.

Thank you again.
