Of course, all the weather files come in three formats - *. epw for use with EnergyPlus, *.BINM for use with the DOE-2 family of simulation programs, and *.FIN4, a text format that can be easily imported to Excel for those wishing to look at the contained. In addition, the files also contain either a DDY or DDY2 design file also needed by EnergyPlus. The DDY is extracted from the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals. The DDY2 is calculated from the available period of record.
Please contact me via e-mail if you have any other questions.

Availability for previous years are similar, but tend to go down by age. As for stations in Iraq, there are 37 in 2010, 41 in 2015.
