Thanks Anand - I was about to mention just this! Thej, this would be a great place to start and in my opinion a lot better than the IMD live weather because: There's data output at every hour. It's for a full host of about 500 stations - so you know that it's original station data and not an artefact of interpolation or any such thing. Also, thanks to Anand we now a full year of hourly data (2012) for all stations - which can act as a great reference when we go forward with 2013.
Do let me know if you guys end up choosing this. I'm not in town for the hacknight - but I've been manually playing with this data for Bangalore (primary source of data for blog.knowyourclimate.org )and have an idea about the kind of data errors that exist that need correction, and what useful parameters can be culled out at the end of it. I'll be happy to share what I have.
