It's a cost/benefit trade-off. It was very time consuming collecting the climate normals data, then putting it into a usable format. Getting American and Canadian data is pretty easy, which is why there is so much of it. I went out of my way to get data for Japan, Puerto Rico, Cuba, South Korea, Germany, the Dominican Republic, and Ghana. Working on the weather means less time spent on other things.
Since I built that file, I've divorced, moved twice, gotten a new job, and was awarded custody of my kids. I also shepherded the creation of the ABA quickstart. I've not had the time nor the urge to revisit the file. There's a billion things I want to do with OOTP, but, I think I will just be fiddling with it as my hobby for the next five years. At some point, my kids will think spending time with me is uncool!
