Try the Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN), both versions 1 and 2.

I have a Windows utility that allows users to search and retrieve data
for specific areas from the original GHCN files
(http://fuzzo.com/ghcn/index.htm). Either that program, or something
like it, will be needed as the GHCN download files contain all data
(global data) available for a specific phenomena, such as precipitation.
I see you have a .fr (France) Web address. For some reason, some users
in Europe cannot get the program to either install or run, but none of
them have sent me sufficient information for me to diagnose, much less
fix the problem. I don't know what the specific error(s) is/are, and
cannot reproduce any error on my home computers -- either on XP or
Vista. (It runs fine on all my computers.)
I would love assistance in figuring out the problem, as it is
frustrating to have such a useful utility for such a useful dataset
remain unusable for a large part of the world.

Dear all Ecolog-ers,
I'm trying to find a dataset which would provide minimum and maximum DAILY
temperatures (precipitation would be nice bonus) at the global scale (the
spatial resolution doesn't matter much). I don't really care if the data
come from spatial interpolation of real station data or from a general
circulation model. Dataset with global change predictions (and
uncertainties) would be a plus.
I've been going through many data repository but haven't been able to find
one providing daily data at global scale, although I'm pretty sure there
must be several ones outhere.
Any suggestions would be most welcomed. Have a nice week,
simon
