TL;DR:
Microsoft/Asobo is responding to the community asking for historical weather conditions instead of only now-current ones, they say it’s very hard to impossible to do it due to a lack of data and existing data being hard to get into the game.
“Lack of data” seems a very strange reason considering we have climate data going back over 100 years for most of the world and meteorological data going back at least a few decades.
For a flying sim, you probably want “weather” data, not “climate” data. Like on this particular date, time, and location, data for the wind direction, rain, cloud formation, temperature, etc. That data would be humongous.

You know what would be amazing? If we had a time machine in flight sim thay let us fly over reasonably accurate recreations of towns and cities throughout history, imagine flying over flanders fields, or London in the 1700s!
