CLIMATE AND WEATHER FILES

Typical weather files for simulation are available to download from the California Measurement Advisory Council (CALMAC). Lancaster-Wm-Fox-Field is the  closest weather station to the project site; a copy of the CZ2025 (updated for use in the 2025 Title 24 cycle) weather file will download at: https://www.calmac.org/weather/CZ2025/CA_LANCASTER-GEN-WM-FOX-FIELD_723816_CZ2025.zip

Many modeling programs also have built-in ways of downloading weather data. Entrants do need to ensure they are using the correct California Climate Zone file.
