There is also historical weather data from 2009 through now (June 2013) for Medellin-Olaya-Herr(era?) Lat 6.217S Lon 75.600W, Elev 1499m, WMO Station Number 801100, but the data quality is not as good (average 200-300 records/month) as for Jose Maria Cordova IAP (400-700 records/month). If you want, I can make a "typical year" weather file for that station, too, but I would not recommend it. A better way would be to modify the Jose Maria Cordova IAP file instead by comparing the differences between the two files, but that would take several hours of work.
The other point I'd like to make is that 29 km is less than the grid cell size used in other computer methods to generate synthetic weather files. Furthermore, those methods also need observed data to populate their models or statistical procedures, and that observed data are almost definitely also from the major weather station in the area, i.e., the Jose Maria Cordova IAP!

I must recommend no use the weather file of the "Jose Maria Cordova International Airport", this is an airport which is 29km from Medellin, and even more important it is 2.142 m.s.n.m while Medellin is 1500 m.s.n.m. so the weather file must not be the same.

Subject: Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Medellin weather file
There is an ASHRAE IWEC2 weather file for the Jose Maria Cordova International Airport that serves Medellin (COL_RIONEGRO-JM-CORDOVA_801120_IW2, Lat 6.133S Lon 75.433W) with excellent data quality. Individual years for the same station are also available. In addition, there are also a few historical years for two other locations in Medellin, but of poorer data quality.
The entire set of 3,012 IWEC2 weather files are available on a DVD from ASHRAE (www.techstreet.com/cgi-bin/detail?product_id=1823067) for $229. Individual IWEC2 weather can be downloaded from my company (White Box Technologies) web site in various formats (BINM for DOE-2, EPW for EnergyPlus, etc.) for $35 per site. Historical year weather data cost $50 per station year. For details, please go to http://weather.whiteboxtechnologies.com . Selection can be made using a GoogleEarth ap or by list.
