<p>It looks like what you've got is a statistical summary file
(sometimes called "Climate Normals"), not the actual raw data
from a weather station. It's basically impossible to take such
statistical summaries to create an hourly weather file , which is
what you would need for use in a simulation program such as
eQUEST. An actual raw weather file would show the time stamp
(year, date, time, etc.) and have values for temperature,
humidity, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, etc., but almost
never solar radiation.</p>
<p>I have been downloading raw weather data from the US National
Climatic Data Center for thousands of stations around the world
(including 30 or so in Mexico), and processing them into weather
files that can be used in simulation programs. Please take a look
at my Web site (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

) for more details.</p>
