The MeteoSyn module provides site-dependent climate data. The module offers the possibility to extract climate data from a Map and from a List. In addition, under Options new records can be imported and the database updated. New locations or climate data can be generated via Create new location.
The map can show all locations for which climate data are already available. Important: the interactive map requires an Internet connection. If there is no Internet connection, MeteoSyn starts with the page List. With the button new locations or climate data can be created (see Create new location).
To select an existing climate data set, proceed as follows:
Select a Country from the country list. The map then displays the selected country. The country list contains only countries for which climate data are available.
(optional) Select a federal state. If federal states have been entered in the climate data, a corresponding selection box for federal states appears.
Select a location. Only locations for which climate data are available can be selected. There are various options for the choice of location:
The menu item List displayed all available locations with detailed information (data source, averaging period, etc.) in list form. For example, the climate data for Germany are mainly obtained from the German Weather Service (DWD). With the button new locations or climate data can be created (see Create new location).

New climate data records can be imported and the MeteoSyn database can be updated in the Options menu item.

Your imported files are saved to the database and copied to the country-specific folder for all users, e.g. C:\ProgramData\Valentin EnergySoftware\MeteoSyn\WBV_userfiles\DEU\ .
If you want to create your own climate data file, select the file format *.dat. The file must be in the following format:
Berlin
