That happens when it is raining.  See the Engineering Reference under Outside Surface Heat Balance for an explanation.

I have pasted some values for Surface Ext Convection Coeff. I do not
understand why the value 1000 comes out so often as below (The data is all one column, I just put in some <CR> to make it fit:

MAIN_ZONE:NW_WALL Surface Ext Convection Coeff [W/m2-K] !Hourly
1000 2.77 2.27 1.77 4.01 6.17 8.15 6.96 5.82 4.63 4.04 3.44 2.93 3.92 5 6.2 3.88 2.88 2.32 2.59 2.88 3.44 3.42 3.4 3.39 3.54 3.75 3.92
4.61 4.93 5.25 5.24 5.24 5.24 4.12 3.1 2.26 1.98 1.79 2.01 2.5 3.3 3.28 3.28 3.3 3.3 3.29 3.29 3.28 3.27 3.24 3.3 3.27 3.25 3.24 3.38
3.71 3.95 3.63 3.38 3.68 3.39 3.05 2.78 2.68 2.62 2.58 2.58 2.63 1.99 2.09 2.31 2.49 2.69 2.98 3.27 3.17 3.18 3.18 3.22 3.18 3.18 3.18 3.21
1000 3.24 2.83 2.62 2.54 2.51 2.5 4 5.5 6.91 5.89 4.91 3.86 4.65 5.43 6.21 5.88 5.56 5.24 4.14 3.08 2.74 4.1 5.21 6.21 6.07 6.07 5.96
4.78 4.31
1000 2.76 3.01 1000 3.19 3.19
1000 3.66 4.15 1000 5.82 6.95
1000 7.53 6.83
1000 6.64 7.1
1000 7.35

An extract from the .eso file directly shows the same:
3193,2,ROOF_ZONE:629922,Surface Ext Convection Coeff[W/m2-K] !Hourly
...
3193,1000.
3194,0.0
3195,4.46655458586733
3196,0.161724836421579
3201,1.43235389536845
3208,1000.
3209,3.531728811099620E-002
3210,4.48398230819091
3211,0.105925030842807
3216,1.42401160260268
3223,1000.

Other variables do not show this behaviour.

Any ideas?
