I have just upgraded to the latest version of CMX, upon running it again, the cloud base value spiked to 5295 ft before going back to normal. I closed CMX and reopened it to see if it was a one off, but it did the same thing with the same value.
No biggie, just thought it was weird..

Re: Cloud base weirdness
Are your temperature and dew point values okay around start-up? The figure 5295 suggests a temperature/dew point difference of about 13.2. Your current air temperature is close to 13.2. Just an observation

Re: Cloud base weirdness
No iffy values from temp/humidity/dew point.
I saw the value appear in the real time data, which was also logged to SQL.

Re: Cloud base weirdness
Looks like it may be using the dewpoint value before it is initialised from the first data at start-up and thus zero.
Which station type are you using, still on the WLL? (I'll check that one first)

Re: Cloud base weirdness
Found the issue, it applies to a few stations - I'll have to split up a mega temperature function and move all the bits associated with dewpoint out to their own code. All the stations will need changing to accommodate that, but it should be done - I see some beta testing for the next release!
