Has anyone seen a website that will tell me what the weather was like
in the summer of 1217 in the south of england?

Can do you 1218 - that any good? (Man killed by lightning at Stepney on 2nd
February; Severe thunderstorm with heavy rain on the 29th November.) It was
hot and dry in 1222, but much flooding the following year. This courtesy of
http://www.booty.demon.co.uk/climate/1200_1299.htm - I found it with a
little bit of digging on http://www.pepysdiary.com/, after some remembered
discussion of the flooding Sam describes.

I have to ask - why 1217 precisely?!

Try the Department of Climatology at the University of East Anglia.
