I call it trick.
For every location on earth,there is a compilation of meteorological data,and the mean,average values,computed from all data ever collected for that area.
I had to buy one in college for a solar energy class.
I suspect that the numbers that you are seeing are computed from such a database.
ASHRAE Manuals will have some of it.
