We are looking for a TMY3 weather file for Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania in EnergyPlus 'epw' format. Could anyone please point us to where we could find the file?
If you come empty handed, at worse you could maybe use Mombasa in Kenya, which is not "that" far away and also on the coast (roughly 300km south). Maybe check some weather data and see if they seem to have similar climate or not...
There is an ASHRAE IWEC2 weather file for Dar-Es-Salaam-AP (TZA_DAR-ES_SALAAM_IWC2, Lat
6.867 S, Lon 39.200 E). IWEC2 weather files were developed in a 4-year ASHRAE project
utilizing actual weather reports from thousands of stations throughout the world going
back 25 years.
The entire set of 3,012 IWEC2 weather files is available on a DVD from ASHRAE for $229.
See www.techstreet.com/ashrae/products/1823067 for details.
Individual IWEC2 weather files can be downloaded immediately from my company (White Box
Technologies) web site at http://weather.whiteboxtechnologies.com. The cost is $35 per
station, each file comes in several formats - *.BIN, *.EPW, and *.CSV. For EnergyPlus
Users, the file also includes a *.DDY file.
For a complete list of all IWEC2 stations, see

Hi,
Good luck finding that in epw format.
