Climate.OneBuilding.org</a> is pleased to announce the availability
of new climate data (TMYx) for more than <b>260 locations in countries
for the Middle East</b><a name="OLE_LINK2"></a>. New countries
uploaded are Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Oman, Palestine, Qatar,
Saudi Arabia, Syrian Arab Republic, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. This
is in addition to the previously uploaded data for Cyprus, Egypt, Kuwait,
Lebanon, and Turkey. New countries uploaded are Bahrain, Iran, Iraq,
Israel, Jordan, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syrian Arab
Republic, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. The TMYx are derived from the
ISD (US NOAA's Integrated Surface Database) with hourly data through 2017
using the TMY2/ISO ISO 15927-4:2005 methodologies (that is, Typical
Meteorlogical Years). There may be two TMYxs for a location, e.g., for
Cairo Intl AP: EGY_QH_Cairo.Intl.AP.623660_TMYx, and
EGY_QH_Cairo.Intl.AP.623660_TMYx. In those cases, there's a TMY for the
entire period of record and a second TMY for the most recent 15 years
(2003-2017). Not all locations have recent data. <br>
<br>
Adding these data to the earlier (April 2018 and October 2018) sets,
<a href="http://Climate.OneBuilding.org">Climate.OneBuilding.org</a> now
provides climate TMYx data at no cost for more than <b>4,400 locations
</b>and another 3,000 from other data sources worldwide. All data have
been through extensive quality checking to identify and correct data
errors and out of normal range values where appropriate.<br><br>
Each climate location .zip on
<a href="http://Climate.OneBuilding.Org">Climate.OneBuilding.Org</a>
contains: EPW (EnergyPlus weather format), CLM (ESP-r weather
format), and WEA (Daysim weather format) along with DDY (ASHRAE design
conditions in EnergyPlus format), RAIN (hourly precipitation in mm, where
available), and STAT (expanded EnergyPlus weather statistics).<br><br>
