In addition to Tom and Vince replies, might want to look into a RTC module 
or GPS USB Dongle.

In addition to Vince's recommendation:

   1. you should also set debug=1 in weewx.conf, then restart. It may give
   you more clues as to what is going on.
   2. Run the command "dmesg". This will show you if anything is going on
   with the kernel. Long shot, but worth checking.
   3. Is your console connected to AC, or running just on batteries? Low
   batteries can show these symptoms (although the 4.47 V you are seeing is
   pretty normal).

You should be running ntp or systemd equivalent to keep the clock in sync 
with reality.

Decided to remove the old database and see what happened then.

command line runned as it should be, all updating database and website = 
all good
ctrl-c on command line and executed the daemon commands.

So that didn't work.
Another stop and start seems to get things running.


Basically the old-database most likely was not writable.
using commandline therefore new values were not written aback and website 
didn't update
using daemon still see problems related to times I guess which upsets weewx.

How can a RPi loose 6 seonds when not running weewx for maybe 15min
Anyway it works for now.

I have restarted the RPi, now wait half an hour or so and then start weewx 
from the commandline.
Wait another half an hour and see what I got. Will report back here later.

The time thing I noticed the 640sec or so but didn't see the fast and slow !
The daemon starts on RPI startup so no delay there, for now removed it.
Will investigate that after the commandline is running properly.
