<Http://Climate.OneBuilding.org>Climate.OneBuilding.org  is pleased 
to announce the availability of new climate data (TMYx) for more than 
260 locations in countries for the Middle East.  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.

Adding these data to the earlier (April 2018 and October 2018) sets, 
<http://Climate.OneBuilding.org>Climate.OneBuilding.org now provides 
climate TMYx data at no cost for more than 4,400 locations 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.

Each climate location .zip on 
<http://Climate.OneBuilding.Org>Climate.OneBuilding.Org  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).

For more information or to download any of the weather data (no 
cost), go to <http://Climate.OneBuilding.org>http://Climate.OneBuilding.org
