Thanks Caleb, but don't think this is the right approach. It's my understanding that TMY data is "typical" data taken over 30 years. What I'm looking for is actual weather data from last year specifically. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Fortunately, this is an easy
procedure. The website you want is </span><a

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>You can click on the TMY3 link. It will take you to *.bin
files. Download the file and rename the extension to TM3 (or whatever extension
it is that Trace looks for when importing a weather file).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Once the file extension is renamed, Trace will import the
file without any trouble.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>One tip – put your weather files in a place where you can
easily find them. When you upgrade a computer, it is nice to be able to grab
all the files in one shot.<span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
