I'd like 365/366 lines of text, each describing the current weather in human language, for a particular location (for an in-game weather generator). I looked around and found numerical data, and references to private weather diaries, but no transcriptions of these for download, ideally in a spreadsheet where one of the columns is exactly what I need. I see a lot of publications by Stefan Brönnimann who compared "synthetic" weather diaries to historical data including the weather during Lord Byron's travel from Lake Geneva to the Bernese Oberland in September 1816. Does anybody know a good link?

It's not getting any easier if I search for German keywords like "Wettertagebücher", "Witterungsaufzeichnungen" in various combinations with "historisch" and "Archiv"… I can find blog posts and University and reports about the people that did it, and some of the examples, and read up on the importance for climate change, but nobody seems to be willing or able to just post a transcript of the data.
