[Bldg-sim] Tracking Hurricane Florence through the Wilmington weather file

[Larry Degelman]

Joe,  

Great observations!  BTW, do the TMY-type methodologies allow for disregarding (or at least flag) these types of events as outliers?  Just curious...

I was always curious what a hurricane would look like on a weather file, so I downloaded the current year weather file for Wilmington North Carolina, processed it and plotted the days around the time the hurricane struck.  Here are the results.  Take a look at the wind speed and rain plots. The wind speed reached a maximum of 61 MPH and the rainfall at more than an inch per hour, both on Friday morning September 14th.


I'm going to put these graphs on the White Box Technologies website as soon as my webmaster tells me how, so that I can update them couple of times a day over the next three days.
