Sorry for the screen shots, I'm using the Pi through RDC on my PC. As I stated in my original post I'm windows to my core, but am slowly getting to grips with my Pi. I believe that the weewx.conf file was configured through a configuration utility and not by directly editing. I'll have a look at the Altitude line tomorrow and see if I can work anything out. Thanks for your help so far and apologies for being an utter numpty on Linux 😊
