$ TZ=UTC date -r 1665970800 Mon Oct 17 01:40:00 UTC 2022 So without knowing what the highest value is, hard to interpret. I'm not totally clear on this, but I think what's happening is: database is always in UTC VP2 does not have a protocol that is always UTC and display localtime; it fundamentally operates in local time driver infers VP2 clock time as local time, in this case UTC Yes, report generation follows timezone My weewx machine (RPI3, NetBSD 9, with VP2) is set to EST5EDT. So therefore I guess that your VP2 is running in UTC, even if it thinks it is s PST8PDT which might mean that the data in the database is correct, but - the time on the console is 7 hours ahead (now) - the daily high/low values are not for localtime midnight-midnight - the data in the database is actually right. - I have no idea what's going on with console DST settings. To recover, I wonder if you need to somehow pause the console for 7h. Or if just changing the time on the console as you flip the TZ is enough. Or if I'm wrong about labeling on database records being ok, and you need to do surgery. I'm sure someone has had this problem; definitely wait for better advice, but this may give you things to think about and try to understand, even if my guesses are a bit off. Definitely back up your database right now, and also before you tried to change the TZ the first time :-( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
