Hi Barry,
I live in France and use the 24h format. Weewx is installed on a Pi4.
Below, the relevant part of the *skin.conf* file located in the *Belchertown
skin folder*. When I installed the Belchertown skin few years ago, I didn't
do any modification to have the right format.
[Units]
# This section is for managing the selection and formatting of units.
[[Groups]]
#...
[[StringFormats]]
# ...
[[Labels]]
# ...
[[TimeFormats]]
# This section sets the string format to be used for each time
scale.
# The values below will work in every locale, but may not look
# particularly attractive. See the Customization Guide for
alternatives.
day = %X
week = %X (%A)
month = %x %X
year = %x %X
rainyear = %x %X
current = %x %X
ephem_day = %X
ephem_year = %x %X
