Spot time gap in TMY files for pre-processor prepare meteorological data

[nikkopante]

Describe the bug
Hi UMEP team, I'd like to ask question on how to spot time gap in the pre-processor prepare meteorological data. I download a TMY from the NSRDB. I want to convert it to UMEP acceptable .txt format. I am confronted with this error below. However, I cannot spot what is missing with the time gap. Here is my data. I'd like to ask if there's a minimum number of entries in the TMY.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. UMEP > Pre-processor > Meteorological Data > Prepare Existing Data
2. Supply the needed column i.e. Year, Month, etc.
3. Export data
4. Error

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• QGIS Version: 3.22.10-Białowieża
• UMEP Version: 3.20.9

The reason is that your year column (first column) include months from multiple years. This is not allowed in UMEP as some tools require continuous data. Change the fist column to only include e.g. 2014 (except fro the last line that should be 2015), then it should work.
