Hi Tom,

As a relatively new user of weewx I have to say I'm completely with Joe on 
this, and was on the point of making a similar comment.  I'm not saying the 
graphs are wrong if you know what they are telling you, but they are very 
wrong if you make reasonable (but incorrect) assumptions about what they 
are saying.
In particular my new weather station provides UV data, also new for me so 
of particular interest.  If I look at a day graph the range goes from 0 to 
8 - looks good.  For a week same range but peaks are more like 7.5, for a 
month the range is 0 to 7 with peaks about 6.5.  If I look at a year (I 
only have 5 months of data) the range goes from 0 to 4 - there is one peak 
at 4, otherwise the range would have been 0 to 2.  So what I'm saying is 
that for UV at least if I only looked at the year chart I would get a 
totally misleading picture of UV amounts.

When I look at the other graphs in detail I see similar patterns, just not 
as extreme.  Explained now I know the plots are aggregates, just not what I 
wanted/was expecting.

The fantastic thing about weewx is I can replace the skin and/or 
reconfigure it (which I will do - just that otherwise I really liked the 
season skin) but I would argue that the default skin/configuration should 
be clearer in what its showing or could be better configured (though please 
don't ask me how this is achieved or what the best configuration is)

Perhaps something to consider for a future release

Bob
