Where can I find an archive of actual weather data?

Question

Forecasting

I am a student. For forecasting, you need a history (at least 2 years) of temperature values ​​in Russian cities, where can I get it? Is there a ready-made api for free? We need hourly values, but it can be less detailed and I would also like a weather forecast with the same step for several days ahead. Who solved such a problem? Thank you.
