What we need to see is the archive database. Using sqlite3, something like

*sqlite3 /home/weewx/archive/weewx.sdb*  # Adjust as necessary
sqlite> *select dateTime, datetime(dateTime,'unixepoch','localtime'),
outTemp, outHumidity, windSpeed, radiation, ET from archive where
dateTime>1537675200 limit 200;*

Also, were you using software or hardware record generation during that
time period?
