Easy fix to allow characters with an umlaut. In the skin.conf file that you
are using, change this
[[SummaryByMonth]]
# Reports that summarize "by month"
[[[NOAA_month]]]
encoding = strict_ascii
template = NOAA/NOAA-%Y-%m.txt.tmpl
[[SummaryByYear]]
# Reports that summarize "by year"
[[[NOAA_year]]]
encoding = strict_ascii
template = NOAA/NOAA-%Y.txt.tmpl
to this
[[SummaryByMonth]]
# Reports that summarize "by month"
[[[NOAA_month]]]
encoding = utf8
template = NOAA/NOAA-%Y-%m.txt.tmpl
[[SummaryByYear]]
# Reports that summarize "by year"
[[[NOAA_year]]]
encoding = utf8
template = NOAA/NOAA-%Y.txt.tmpl
