A reliable source of ambient temperature and wind speed dataset?

I am calculating the energy yield of a solar PV system using PVlib python. For radiation, I am using the clear-sky method (because I have some assumptions in my project). I am looking for a reliable source for wind speed and ambient temperature datasets so that I can calculate cell/module temperature using Sandia and PVsyst models I need data for the whole year at a 10min resolution.

Is it possible through PVGIS? If yes, how?

Any suggestions are most welcome!
