There used to be a fantastic tool known as Climate Consultant from the US DoE which provided bunch of instant visualisations of stats related to the climate for your region and gave a bunch of graphical diagrams of useful passive design strategies relevant to your region (with accompanying psychrometric graphs etc).
Its original page was http://www.energy-design-tools.aud.ucla.edu/climate-consultant/request-climate-consultant.php and it was Windows only but it seems to no longer exist. Before I reach out to https://www.aud.ucla.edu/about/contact-us I was wondering if anybody knows of an alternative or knows where to get it?
https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=climate+consultant&iax=images&ia=images are some examples of its outputs
