The simple part of the answer - you want a [Units] [[DegreeDays]] stanza in your skin config file. It's covered in the v5.1 documentation here <http://weewx.com/docs/5.1/reference/skin-options/units/#degreedays>.
The challenge you will now face is where to put your setting(s). The answer is it depends. You could create a [Units] [[DegreeDays]] stanza in your skin config file and those settings will apply to each report in your skin. You could alter your [StdReport] [[Defaults]] [[[Units]]] stanza in weewx.conf by adding your [[[[DegreeDays]]]] there, this would change the default settings for all reports (skins) but has the advantage of not needing any changes to any skin config files. You could also place a [[[Units]]] [[[[DegreeDays]]]] stanza under any of your reports (skins) listed under [StdReport] in weewx.conf. Any such settings would apply to only the report (skin) under which the settings are included. Note the different number of [] on each stanza heading depending on where it is used. The documentation shows the correct number of [] for the skin config file, a different number of [] pairs are used in weewx.conf due to the stanzas being pushed further down the config hierarchy. Really is a personal preference where to put skin settings. I prefer to keep my customisations in weewx.conf, it means I can freely upgrade/update skins and my customisations (well settings) are in one place only, but it does make my weewx.conf larger. Horses for courses. Gary On Monday 30 September 2024 at 18:31:13 UTC+10 [email protected] wrote: > Hi, quick question about the heating degree days algorithm used in the > NOAA text reports.
