Thank Jeff, and Tom again. The reason why separate, solar powered anemometer is a must have, is that I live in an area with high Lightning activity: https://images.app.goo.gl/QTDeAPa8Hukh49Pr5 I don't want to have anything else destroyed and definitely don't want a cable else than a lightning

I think I may have failed in my description :-) The only detachable part of a VP2's rain gauge is the black funnel - the tipping spoons, etc. are part of the base unit - you'd have to saw it apart to separate it. The UV/solar sensors are on a tray above and behind the rain funnel, but plug into

*Now I recognize that when one is running a report that works in units of days, not instants of time, you might want to represent the end of the month as being 31-Jan-2010 (no time) and not 1-Feb-2010 00:00. * *Thinking out loud here, we could create tags such as:* *$week.last_day*

Yes that's because of a change in how weewx handles delta times, see here: http://www.weewx.com/docs/upgrading.htm#Breaking_changes_for_skins_that_use_delta_times I added a short question/answer in the skins wiki about that: https://github.com/Daveiano/weewx-wdc/wiki#faq Jim Munro schrieb am

The VP2 comes with a 40 foot anemometer cable, and can be extended. Davis sells 100' cords that can be joined to the 40'. (I'm not sure if it's just standard straight through phone wiring or what, I think it's discussed somewhere on the wxforum.net Vince referenced). There's just this caveat

Opinions based on my Davis VP2 and Tempest, installed in Alaska. :-) The Tempest measurements are very close to the VP2 ones. Yes, they do weather prediction and can do some corrections, but my weewx instance isn't reading those - it's reading the raw observations over the LAN. I *believe* I

If you regard a day as ending precisely at midnight, the convention is the same for both archive intervals and for a day: exclusive on the left, inclusive on the right. A five-minute archive interval timestamped 11:35 includes all data from just after 11:30 to precisely 11:35. In a similar

Tom explained the reason, I want to add some important consideration: you need to distinguish between an Instant (e.g. 1-Feb-2010 00:.123456789 ) and a (Local!) calendar date. If you want a report "Average Temperature in March 2022" for your station, it needs to be based on all the values

May be it worth mentioning the background that the archive interval is open at the left end (start time) and closed at the right end (end time). That is not uncommon. It is a widely used design. That is because it is the only way to combine values that summarize the archive interval with actual
