Forecast number up-date time

Post by K8POS »

How often does the console update the forecast # to cumulus?
Mine has been stuck on -26 for days :groan:

Cumulus doesn't get the forecast number from the Davis console, it is only given the text of the forecast. The forecast number applies to the separate "Zambretti" forecast which Cumulus calculates itself. A value of -26 is equivalent to "Exceptional Weather, Stormy, much precipitation", so you probably have your forecast pressure extremes set incorrectly, see "http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#My_for ... itation.22"

Had the Cumulus forecast set to OFF.
Turned it back on, will see what that does before I play with the others.

Thank you

Steve,

Yup, had a decimal point in wrong place of my pressure extremes.
When you just glanced at it it looked correct.

Working fine now.

Thank you.
