[martindale]

[steve]

Could you give more information on exactly what the problem is, please?

Steve- I have no idea what he's on about either! You're not alone. Ummmm, read the Wiki....search posts.......Read help file in Cumulus: Display cloud base: "Selecting this causes the calculated cloud base to be displayed on the main screen. The calculation is a simple one; 1000 feet for every 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit difference between the temperature and the dew point. Note that this simply gives the theoretical height at which Cumulus clouds would begin to form, the air being saturated."
Or in other words, the more humid, the lower the cloud base.

I reckon that should cover it

ok sorry for not giving you to much info I decided to delete and start again, got everything working fine even the cloud base but the sunset is 1 hour a head need to go back one hour my computer has a right time and also my climemet. is there way to get the sunset right for the time of the year,

hope I have made sense and thanks for your time

Thank you it's sorted the only little problem but not that bothered the cloud base it's fine, but is not showing what the weather is going to be,should this be the case?

... but is not showing what the weather is going to be

Please be more explicit - WHAT "is not showing what the weather is going to be" ?

Cloud base is the lowest height at which Cumulus clouds might form if the conditions are 'right'.
It is NOT a weather 'icon'.

and ........ if you know what the weather is going to be. Please tell us how you do it

Ok I am using the climemet weather station http://www.skyview.co.uk/dept1/acatalog ... M2000.html
So that's where I can see the icon showing sunny periods, but nothing is showing on the cumulus but i have the cloud base showing the hight of the clouds if you get what I mean

The Fine Offset station has no mechanism for making its 'forecast' available to Cumulus. You can get Cumulus to generate a basic forecast (which may or may not agree with the icons on your station, and may or may not produce good results for you - see the FAQ) if you turn it on in the station settings.

[beteljuice]

Cumulus has a 'for fun' text based forecast, it does not provide any current or forecast weather icons.

Once you are more comfortable both with Cumulus and coding pages, then there are several threads / methods on "How To" forecasts and weather images for your web SITE, but there is nothing you can 'add' to the Cumulus console !!

Edit: cross posted with above
