Help with editing BBCF

[Easy Mac]

Didn't feel like this getting lossed in the BBCF first impression thread, and not really in the mood to register at thier forums.

I'm trying to add a city, but I really have very little idea what it all means. Here's what I've assumed so far:

ID = ID #
CityName = Name
State = State
Abbr = Abbreviation
Population = Population (any max or mins?)
SquareMiles = Square Miles (any max or mins?)
GrowthRate = Growth Rate (any max or mins?)
CityPrestige = City Presitge (any max or mins?)
AUGmt = Aug mean temp
SEPmt = Sep mean temp
OCTmt = Oct mean temp
NOVmt = Nov mean temp
DECmt = Dec mean temp
JANmt = Jan mean temp
AUGstd = Aug temp dev (high's and lows?)
SEPstd = Sep temp dev (high's and lows?)
OCTstd = Oct temp dev (high's and lows?)
NOVstd = Nov temp dev (high's and lows?)
DECstd = Dec temp dev (high's and lows?)
Janstd = Jan temp dev (high's and lows?)
AUGCLR = Aug clear days (Is this a percent?)
AUGPC = Aug partly cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
AUGCLD = August cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
SEPCLR = SEP clear days (Is this a percent?)
SEPPC = Sep partly cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
SEPCLD = Sep cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
OCTCLR = Oct clear days (Is this a percent?)
OCTPC = Oct partly cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
OCTCLD = Oct cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
NOVCLR = Nov clear days (Is this a percent?)
NOVPC = Nov partly cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
NOVCLD = Nov cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
DECCLR = Dec clear days (Is this a percent?)
DECPC = Dec partly cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
DECCLD = Dec cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
JANCLR = Jan clear days (Is this a percent?)
JANPC = Jan partly cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
JANCLD = Jan cloudy days (Is this a percent?)
AUGrp = Aug rain percent of days (Is this a percent?)
SEPrp = Sep rain percent of days (Is this a percent?)
OCTrp = Oct rain percent of days (Is this a percent?)
NOVrp = Nov rain pecent of days (Is this a percent?)
DECrp = Dec rain percent of days (Is this a percent?)
JANrp = Jan rain percent of days (Is this a percent?)
AUGrt = Aug rain total
SEPrt = Sep rain total
OCTrt = Oct rain total
NOVrt = Nov rain total
DECrt = Dec rain total
JANrt = Jan rain total
AUGsnt = Aug snow total
SEPsnt = Sep snow total
OCTsnt = Oct snow total
NOVsnt = Nov snow total
DECsnt = Dec snow total
JANsnt = Jan snow total
AUGhum = Aug humidity?
SEPhum = Sep humidity?
OCThum = Oct humidity?
NOVhum = Nov humidity?
DEChum = Dec humidity?
JANhum = Jan humidity?
AUGwd = Aug wind direction?
SEPwd = Sep wind direction?
OCTwd = Oct wind direction?
NOVwd = Nov wind direction?
DECwd = Dec wind direction?
JANwd = Jan wind direction?
AUGws = Aug wind speed?
SEPws = Sep wind speed?
OCTws = Oct wind speed?
NOVws = Nov wind speed?
DECws = Dec wind speed?
JANws = JAN wind speed?


I ask these questions mainly because I want to know some things. If hum = humidity, why does it seem like it goes in the wrong direction. Most places are listed as more humid in january than August? What would wind direction mean if thats right? Is rp the percent of the month it rains? Do the sky cloudy days have to add up to 100? Is std the devation from high to low based on the average (so if the high is 75, mean 65 and low 55, is it about 10)? What would be a good prestige?

I don't plan on adding many cities, but there are some missing 1-aa cities that I would like to add. I'm sure it will be easier once an editor is released, but I thought I'd start now.

Also, when an editor is added, could you add a feature where you just pick another city from a list and have it add all the info from that city, then we can just tweak it a little? I'm sure if I added like Sumter, SC, I could just import the stuff from Columbia and edit stuff like city size and what not for it, while leaving the temperature stuff mostly alone. Thanks in advance.

dola myself:

I assume you guys more or less used www.city-data.com or something like that. Would most of the info there help me out and give me fairly accurate results?
