When the new OOTP17 came out, I replaced the weather file with the saved one. You can add many cities or towns to the weather file. Just keep a copy of the original file around in case you might need it. I've spent a lot of time checking out that site. It is loaded as you say with data. Very interesting stuff. Hope more people just give it a check. It is cool. Hope your plan works out for you.

Thanks - me too!
I've started a spreadsheet using August as a sample month for location of the Bronx. (for Yankee Stadium, obviously). What's interesting, on the pie charts, the breakouts display percentages - but hovering over each pie shows 'records' - for each weather type - my guess is that if at that local observation station a given sky or precip condition was observed, it was recorded as a single 'record' ... so if it was clear, scattered clouds, cloudy, rain, thunderstorm, then clear - then 'clear' would have been recorded twice and the others once. The total of the records for the day comes out to 521 - obviously there aren't 521 years of records for a particular day in August. So viewing this from a percentage standpoint likely is the most accurate way of looking at it.
In order to get the cumulative average for the month, I think it makes the most sense to build the spreadsheet based on number of records for each category for each day - sum them - and get an overall percentage of that weather type for the month.
How that will translate to giving us a more accurate percent chance of precip in the game is yet to be seen. We shall see.
