Gary, Thanks for your research on this. I didn't know it there was some way of calculating this data in weewx and posting that I was missing. I'm attempting to like the AerisPulse app but when the conditions they report to me are ~15 degrees different, it's difficult to do. On the morning

Oh, and I forgot to mention. Your missing six messages found their way into the spam folder, Groups seems to have a habit of randomly doing this sometimes. I don't know why, especially when your seventh attempt worked! In any case I deleted them, could not see the point of letting them through

So the question started as why you weren't seeing your data on an Aeris app and the answer was that only those stations that provide sky coverage were showing their data on the Aeris app. Subsequently, your question to us was how to I submit sky coverage data to PWS Weather. Fair question given

That would imho be rather stupid. Why would they "sell" a link which leads to applying for a PWS/aeris account as detailed information to an existing user ? What added value would an existing user get by applying again ??? Maybe there's still something more to it. @Bruce: can you provide the

I should add my comments re METAR is my supposition; the observation related fields (as distinct from API keys, date-times, software name etc) in the PWS Weather upload string format are: wind direction wind speed wind gust speed temperature hour rainfall day rainfall month rainfall year

Thank you for the explanation. I incorrectly thought that cloudcover was the data expected by pwsweather. Now that I see that it is more involved, I will wait patiently. The reason for my interest is that the AerisPulse app gives me data from a station many miles from me when I am reporting

Hi, Short answer is the WeeWX PWSWeather uploader does not support any form of 'sky cover percentage'. In looking at the upload string format recently provided by PWSWeather the only field I can see that might support 'sky cover percentage' is the 'weather' field which is described as '

I don't know. I don't think it has anything to do with Belchertown. pwsweather is looking for sky cover percentage. I know that a few stations report this and I'm wondering how it is done. All other data is reporting. My data is calculating cloud base however, pwsweather is looking for a
