I can't think of another way to describe them, they're fairly standard meteorological statistics. Highest Minimum is the largest value of all your daily minima. Lowest Maximum is the lowest value of all your daily maxima. The former would occur on a day where it never got very cold, even during the night, and the latter on a day where the temperature never got very high, even during the day.daveq wrote:I've setup Cumulus and have it running via VirtualVP along with Weather Display, WeatherLink, and VPLive. I'm entering my all time records and have a question about two entries. What does 'Highest minimum temp' and 'Lowest maximum temp' refer to? Highest minimum and Lowest maximum seem to be oxymorons.
This was an oversight due to me thinking in millimetres. I've attempted to fix it in one of the 1.8.3 betas (see announcements) but had no feedback yet as to whether it worked.Also on the rain graph the scale starts at zero but doesn't have another increment. Should there be if the rain is less than an inch for that day?
Not easily. The data is stored as CSV, so you'd need to export in that format, then arrange the fields in the right order. Further complicated by the fact that there are two types of data file: monthly files with entries every few minutes and a single file with a daily summary for each day. See the Help for names and formats (but note that the later 1.8.3 betas add total rainfall to the entries in the monthly files, which I may not have documented yet.)Also, is there a way to import data from any other weather program. I have four years worth an would like to have that data in this program

Actually, I think I noticed myself that I had missed one of them.harrym1byt wrote:Thanks Steve, it does sort of work, but (I think) not for all three gauges.
I'll have a look at that, I may have only tweaked one parameter.The 'sort of' meaning it counts up like this - 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.3 a double count, rather than 0.1, 0.2 etc..
I'm not sure which is the 'main wind direction gauge'. The two on the right both seem to have all 16 directions. Difficult to say with the other two as I'd have to sit here watching them.On the main wind direction gauge I only seem to be seeing 8 points of the compass showing data (intermediate points are missed), yet if I look at the graph it shows all 16 points. Check my 'wind strength and direction' gauge at http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/m1byt/weather/gauges.htm.
But it does give 16 direction values, so how does it do that? Two switches open/closed at the same time? I guess that would explain why the intermediate values are given less often.Super-T wrote:I don't know if it is relevant but the WH1081 wind direction only has eight points. i.e. 8 Reed switches.
I've just uploaded a new beta with (hopefully) more improvements in this area.harrym1byt wrote:Thanks Steve, it does sort of work, but (I think) not for all three gauges. It has just been too dry to do a thorough check. The 'sort of' meaning it counts up like this - 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.3 a double count, rather than 0.1, 0.2 etc..
Well I must be on the dense side of this one. What period do they refer to? Day, week, year??? Lowest Maximum a day where it never got very cold, even during the night would always be a day in the summer and just the opposite for "Highest Minimum". I just can't wrap my head around these values or the meaning.steve wrote: I can't think of another way to describe them, they're fairly standard meteorological statistics.
