Hi all, Experienced tech (HW, SW, FW and more), brand new to WeeWX. Have had my WeatherFlow Tempest running for a couple of months.
On initial setup, I just discovered that weewx thinks my barometric pressure is out of range! I thought that was interesting. I consider this a bug: - The adjusted sea level barometer is just fine, and within expected range - But my actual pressure is considered too low. - Not a surprise: we live in Colorado *near* the mountains at a bit over 7000 ft -- so our raw pressure is about 3/4 of sea level. People not far from me live over 10000 ft ! And there's a weather station on top of a nearby mountain at over 14000 ft. - The current accepted default pressure is 24 inHG. That's 2 in below the typical minimum seen in the middle of a tornado. - I suggest either dynamically calculating what's acceptable based on altitude, or changing this to allow up to 15,000 ft stations. I doubt we would see tornados at 15000 ft, but we DO see some at 7000 ft. - All things considered, I would suggest a minimum of 17 for 7000 ft, 14 for 15000 ft. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
