Now I am working on the humidity adjustment.  What is the slope adjustment?  Mine is set at 5.  Is this set by what equipment you are using?

I need to step-up the reading by 3%  Is that correct?  Would I use the other adjustment to do this?

I would caution against adjusting your station data to "match" the graphs.  How do you know your data is wrong and the chart is right?  I find those charts are next to worthless....eye candy for the weather impaired.   #-o

its the dew point you want to compare
RH is relative to the temperature, which is not always comparable from your location to somehwere else, whereas the dew point will be a bit more

Looks like your barometric pressure needs adjusting...although I see you must have made some good progress in the most recent data on the graph. :)  Your dewpoint looks good. I use these graphs to compare trends more than anything else. Your nearest station, Burlington,  is about 12 miles away and you can see some significant (but meteorologically correct) differences at times at a distance like that. I think you are doing fine. If you really want to compare, get a sling pyschrometer. Best of luck.      --Bill

I would still verifiy your data before you go chasing those graphs...if you set your station to mimic someones station then your not really reporting conditions for your location anymore...

Well it seems I have a new problem.  #-o  I did not realize that the barometer is in the inside unit.  I have a whole house fan in my shop and I'll bet that drives the sensor nuts.  How well does this stuff work in freezing temps?  I could put the indoor unit in the garden shed and put the computer in a small enclosure during the cooler month.

By the way the remote software is working great! Thanks
