How can I get a weather file for <Location>

Just to throw another option if you are looking for an automated solution, the Get Site from Building Component Library OpenStudio measure downloads an epw, ddy, and stat file from a zip code lookup.
I don't know what tools you are using but, this measure specifically or the BCL API by itself can provide this functionality to other modeling and simulation tools.
http://www.ladybug.tools/epwmap/ has a nice interactive map interface of weather files across the globe. Double-click on a location to download the weather file.
Places where you can search for free weather files are for example:
There are two Meteonorm files on the EnergyPlus Support files here
There is a MeteonormReadme.txt that you must read for limitations about Meteonorm files if you aren't familiar with it.
A few general recommendations:
Please always search for existing questions, for example:
in general neither is UnmetHours nor the EnergyPlus support group a good place to ask for random weather files. Try to find them yourself, and if you can't, then order them from a commercial website (see the two questions above).
