It doesn't really worry me that much - I am under the impression that I am more interested in a substantial direction change rather than if there is a slight error in averaging out the direction point.

Re: Wind Vane Direction Reporting
OK, that would explain it.

Re: Wind Vane Direction Reporting
I know.
But that doesn't explain why the direction flatlines at 338 degrees when wind is below 0,3 m/sec... You'd expect it to flatline at 315 degrees or 360 degrees, but not exactly in between... right?

Re: It looks like the end of the cold spell for us
Funnily enough I just (as in 5 minutes ago) recorded an all-time high of 12,2 degrees. The warm front of Steve's low passed us at around 17:00.

Your very fine barometer looks like it's being dropped off the roof of a tall building.

Re: Wind Vane Direction Reporting
Is your wind vane level? Mine currently isn't. For that reason, whenever wind speed is below Bft 1, it settles into a position that is determined by gravity rather than by the wind direction. Which in my case means that it 'flatlines' at 338 degrees. What puzzles me is that, if Steve's assessment is...

Re: Running Cumulus as a Windows Service
While this might be an option for when you're running Cumulus on a PC that doesn't need strict security (what with it not being connected to a network with other users, or the Internet), it is not something one might want to do on a machine that is a domain controller, a firewall, and a host for a c...

Re: Running Cumulus as a Windows Service
True - the .NET framework will take care of this.
All I have to do to get this sorted is take the local DateTime value and apply the ToUtc() method to it. Piece of cake.

Re: It looks like the end of the cold spell for us
I didn't have a weather station back then. I don't remember it to be spectacularly cold, though. Let me check KNMI's records... ... no, nothing spectacular. 4 days under minus 10, coldest day -11.1. The last time we had some serious cold was last year February. 14 days in a row, starting Jan. 30, du...

As a matter of fact, my current rainy-saturday-afternoon-fidgeting-on-the-kitchen-table project (https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9178) would enable one to use a remote Cumulus-type program. Currently, I use Remote Desktop to do that, and yes, Windows 7 terminal client will also...

Re: Running Cumulus as a Windows Service
Thanks guys! BCJ: conversion from UTC to local is indeed a trivial matter - 8 keystrokes in code (a bit more if you mistype .ToLocal ;-) ) Plus I store the local time as well, so no worries there. If anyone wants to extract the time without the help of DateTime conversion libraries, they would just ...

Re: Running Cumulus as a Windows Service
I've started mapping out a data model. It will probably look like this: separate tables for CurrentConditions, ConditionsToday (daily summaries, which will include the running day), MonthlyConditions (which will include the running month), YearlyConditions (which -- you saw this coming -- will inclu...

Re: It looks like the end of the cold spell for us
For really low overnight temps you need three conditions:- 1) snow-covered ground, 2) clear skies and 3) calm conditions. This part of the world hasn't seen any of those 3 in the last couple of weeks. Maybe February will surprise. We've had all three. Yet temperatures did not get as low as they did...
