This is the first I've heard of NREL having (weather data ?) "around
the world in csv file format". Outside of a few selected countries
or regions (SWERA, China, India), I was not aware that NREL was
working on weather files for non-US locations. Furthermore, their
international focus has been mainly on estimating solar radiation,
not on developing weather files per se. If you know of such data at
NREL, please share more information on what they are or where the
files are available. <br>
<br>
I do know that the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) has put a
lot of weather data from around the world online as the ISH
(Integrated Surface Hourly) data base

<br>
In fact, the new NSRDB (National Solar Radiation Data Base)
1991-2010 that I mentioned earlier is now accessible both at a NREL
site<br>

as well as via ftp to a NCDC web site:<br>

NREL has most locations around the world in csv file format. I
have been using these files for years. Also, this is the data that
a lot of other energy modeling programs use for weather simulation
data. Hopefully this is what is needed. Here is the link to
download the files. <br>

<p><span>In the old days I had luck with using one of the
Regional Climate Centers. I used the Northeast (NRCC) based
at Cornell. For a fee they would develop bin data for any
of the cities they had data for, either single years or
combined groups of years i.e. 1993 to 2003. </span></p>

<p>Hi All, </p>
</div>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Is there a way to get binned weather data for different
locations - preferably free. A quick google search did not
come up with anything concrete. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Thanks </p>
