problems with dates on records

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

problems with dates on records

Attached is an image from the May Records page:

You can see some peculiarities. 'High Daily Range' = '05 December', 'High Humidity' = '10:18 AM on 05 September'.
It would seem month and day have been confused.

The next shot is from the Editor for that data:

On this month I did have some problems with lost data. That might have something to do with it, but it doesn't seem to explain it fully.

Any ideas how to fix this?

What locale do you have set for your station and for your computer? It looks as if something is mis-interpreting dates somewhere along the line.

I'm not sure what the two attachments are showing us either - they seem to have different logging periods.

en-us. Its odd, how can it just be mis-interpreting dates for some fields.

The other two attachments were an attempt to demonstrate the gap in the record, thinking that might have something to do with the error, but the other attachment shows a case where there is no gap and the error still occurs. I was trying to determine what might be unique about the records that jumble the date fields.

The conflicting information on date formats reported in your posts, could account for the swap of month/day for different entries.

That log file was from an attempt to fix my migration problem where you suggested I change the culture. I pasted the log file to verify that I tried what you suggested and it had no effect. I am now back to my original culture.
