I see one possible point of confusion. For baromin, they say baromin number
Relative Pressure i.e. pressure adjusted to sea level (Inch of Mercury) This seems like they expect an adjustment *only* for altitude, not temperature. If that's the case, then the correct WeeWX observation type would be "altimeter", not "barometer". @John Smith <[email protected]> : could you try making the switch and see if that makes a difference in your results?
