Weather data from NCDC ISD, TMY3 or CZ2010

[amotl]

Hi there,

eeweather apparently is a nice library written in Python which will obtain weather data relevant for energy calculations. Its documentation is at https://eeweather.readthedocs.io/.

NOAA National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) Integrated Surface Database (ISD)

TMY

Typical meteorological year (TMY) is a collation of selected weather data for a specific location, listing hourly values of solar radiation and meteorological elements for a one-year period. The values are generated from a data bank much longer than a year in duration, at least 12 years. It is specially selected so that it presents the range of weather phenomena for the location in question, while still giving annual averages that are consistent with the long-term averages for the location in question.
