possible: yes however, the weewx database can contain only numeric values. so you'd have to map the forecast states to some kind of index if you want to store them in the weewx database. or just track them in the 'current' packet, not in the database and of course you'd want to generalize it so it works with any weather station hardware that provides a forecast some years ago i started doing that in the forecast extension, with the intent of collecting forecast states from *any* type of hardware that has them. then use those to compare the quality of hardware-based forecasters. i'm guessing that most use some variant of the zambretti, and it would be interesting to log them all with the corresponding temperatures, pressures, and other indicators to find out for sure. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
