The main viewing mechanism is an active graph, from which you can download station data. The pink rectangle below the graph (below) has a search box. You can put in a part of the station name. The GHCN 4 convention is that stations are in all caps, with underscores replacing spaces. The search will return up to 20 names; each line giving the full name (to 18 chars), the GHCNv4 station number, and the approximate year range of the data. To the left of each line is a radio button. Clicking this will download the data for that station and show an active graph.
Below the graph is a table of checkboxes with names of months. There is a column of unadjusted, and one of adjusted. Check the boxes to determine which graphs are shown. There is a legend box below the graph, which shows the selected names and color. You can drag this onto the polot to act as a legend.
The graph is active (like this one). That means that you can drag with mouse the location of the plot. If you swipe horizontally below the x-axis it will shrink or expand the x-range, and similarly behind the y-axis. So you can adjust the plot to see best what you want.
Update If you don't like a color you can change it. Just click the button of that color in the legend to randomly choose from a palette of 64.
The Data button above the checkboxes creates a new window with a printout of the data that is showing. You can save this, or copy and paste.
I should note that I have excluded any data with a quality flag; sometimes this is quite a lot. Anyway, here is the plot:
