Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Modifying a weather file to reflect "real" weatherJust to supplement this discussion, in the United States, one can consider using the real-time meteorological data from the U.S. Climate Reference Network:
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ oa/climate/ uscrn/index. html
Specifically to the OP's data needs, there are two stations in Michigan:
1) Michigan State University, Chatham; and,
2) National Weather Service, Gaylord.
I've used their data for Northeast US sites for a number of years now. With regard to insolation, they only model global horizontal insolation, however. You have to do some work to derive components you might need.
