errant readings

I very like the Weather34 template but I have some problems with Dewpoint readings that are still 0.0*C. I do not know why?

I have also noticed inflated gust readings eg. today I saw even 62 km/h but max. recorded gust equaled 38.6 km/h and it is consistent with data on WU.

Here is my website: http://mark014.beep.pl/CU-HWS/index.php?lang=en

Your realtime.txt is showing a dewpoint of 0.0, so it must be an issue with your stations data?!

It is strange because Awekas also uploads my readings based on realtime.txt file and dewpoint is not 0.0*C:

I don't think Awekas uses the realtime.txt? Not if you're sending data via CMX?

Strange though, as your realtime.txt definitely shows 0.0

Is MX showing the dewpoint as zero in the admin interface? If so it sounds like your station is not providing a dew point value, if that is the case then you must get MX to calculate it using the station settings, options.

Thanks. Yes, I had to set calculation of the dewpoint by Cumulus.

However, I have a problem with the rainfall displays. I changed in Station settings / Annual Rainfall and added my current 'year-to-date amount' but my monthly rainfall changed to zero. Where can I edit rainfall totals for the month and year?

Correction is covered in a later FAQ set

If you need to, you can specify a year-to-date total to add in for the period up to the point where you started using Cumulus, so that your first year’s total is correct.
I did it but on my admin interface I have now corrected year rainfall: 116 mm but month value is 0.

The FAQ description is a bit complicated, old CUmulus and MX issues are mixed up. In general, however, if I understand it correctly all changes you need to edit in the dayfile.txt file
The current rain readings for May are still there for the following days and it is right but why Cumulus does not show them in the month summary...?

Another question that arises is the possibility of generating additional records for dayfile.txt I started Cumulus MX on May 7, but from August 2019 my station Ecowitt 3501 was running. Can this data be generated somehow for this file?

CumulusMX does not have a Create Missing function. This is a function in Cumulus1 and uses the Cumulus monthly log files to populate the missing. However as CumulusMX added the Ecowitt GW1000 station in late 2019 there would be no Cumulus monthly log files for Ecowitt stations from before that time.

Paul, if you think about it, the additional fields in the content of dayfile.txt and monthly log files from 3.6.0, mean that C1 can no longer be used to plug this gap in MX functionality, irrespective of weather station type.

@sfws, I am aware of that.

It's a pity. Maybe to make it easier it could be an option to add new records in Dayfile viewer/editor html file...?

My point is why I cannot see month rainfall for May here:

if this data is present in dayfile (total rainfall column)?
