Correcting spurious data on Fine Offset / Wether Underground

[alexgray]

Is is possible to retrospectively correct data sent to Weather Underground?

My Fine Offset invented a load of ridiculously heavy rain today owing, I think, to wind gusts up to 80 mph shaking the rain sensor (the rain peaks correspond exactly to the wind peaks.

Of course that has been uploaded to wunderground and is now spoiling my stats. As a temporary measure I've deleted the worst of the 5-minute entries, but of course that makes other things flatline, and removes the record of our genuine severe wind today which is a pity.

Is there any way of getting the non-rain stats reloaded manually to wunderground? If I use the standard trick of reverting to a backup data file for Cumulus it just downloads all the erroneous rain readings along with everything else from the weather station and I am back to square one!

In any event I would still need to get the correct data uploaded again to wunderground, or to edit it selectively, but I can't see any way to do that.

Hi Alex
yes you can delete entry's but cannot find a way to change them

If WU doesn't have a nice interface for entering readings manually, you could use the same protocol that Cumulus uses, it's just an HTTP 'GET' request. It's a bit messy to do manually. Details here: http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.php/ ... d_Protocol

Steve would it be correct to change the real-time updates when using a FO Stations to 48seconds or 10 seconds at the moment rapid fire looks like 5 seconds
Is that how often cumulus updates Weather underground ?
If so would this work

Code: Select all

Yes, rapid fire is fixed at 5 seconds, it would make sense for it to be less often for FO stations, but I've never got around to making it configurable.

Thanks Steve, appreciate your quick attention.

I'll take a look at that and see if I can find a not too painful way to send in retrospective data 'manually', though it's bad enough having to delete the dud records one by one. It's a pity WU doesn't some kind of bulk import from CSV for historic data.
