[Radiance-general] What to do when no Weather File is available?

[CHI-German Molina]

Dear Everyone,

This question may be slightly out of the scope of this list; however, I
guess people here might be able to answer it.

I have been wondering, during the last few months, what do people do when
there is no available Weather File for a certain location.

An example is my country: there are 5 EPW available for Chile and one of
them is for Easter Island. For those who do not know, Chile is a very long
country, with many climates and latitudes. For what I remember from my
undergraduate classes, solar radiation can be obtained from monthly data.
Can we do anything for relative humidity and temperature?

Is there any other source of weather files that can be used? How about
Stocastic Weather Files generators?
