Description

Avoc already supports querying OpenMeteo to get current weather conditions. However, OpenMeteo also offers a [Historical Weather API](https://open-meteo.com/en/docs/historical-weather-api), which could be handy for investigations looking into past events.

This can be integrated by expanding the pre-existing OpenMeteo service, and adding an `input` box for inserting the date in the weather's modal (default set to "today").

Research direction

Locate the pre-existing OpenMeteo service and the weather modal, then read the Historical Weather API documentation linked in the issue. Add date input handling with today as the default and connect it to historical queries; done means past-date weather can be requested and displayed in the modal.
