Both have temperature and wind information but not precipitation forecasts.

Historical data is made available by Inmet in two separate ways:

2. http://www.inmet.gov.br/portal/index.php?r=estacoes/estacoesAutomaticas Historical data on temperature, wind and precipitation from automatic weather stations. Updated hourly. Available in CSV but users have to fill in a captcha.
