I think Vince pointed me to the syslog, as the log to look in.
The 'archive time period' is at the default 300 (seconds?).
I don't think the Acurite Atlas weather sensor holds any history, so I
suspect I could lower the 'archive time period' to a single digit?
I ran wee_reports and here's what appeared in the syslog:
