advice please on replacing WM-918

yes the files are still all the same for any station type

what version of WD are you using currently?

was using 10.10r, can you remember that long ago?

in a more recent version WD has detailed climate reports
e.g like

and

http://www.weather-display.com/windy/gb/climatedatayearout.html

very nice, ill give it a try. does it pull the data from the csv file?

it uses the data files (i.e so it will be compatible with your old version)
so with the new version, see under view, av/ext, then climate reports

Ok thanks

Brian, it does look good. Is there a way to select a date range as I have 16 years of data! Otherwise the only option seems to print each month at a time?

For info, here is what I did from the csv files.

I used the 2011 file as later was above your file limit.


WD2011.TXT (329 KB)

date range as in ?

Hi Brian, date range as in from dd/mm/yyyy to do/mm/yyy rather than just a month of a year

I dont have that ability

have you seen meteotemplate.com ?
its based on mysql data
and it has lots of climate reports

that looks good, thanks

Hi Brian,

Ive been looking at these 2 weather stations.

https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902.html

&

https://www.acurite.com/pro-weather-station-with-pro-plus-5-in-1-sensor-pc-connect-wind-and-rain.html

according to your compatibility list they seem OK Is that correct?

cheers

the ambient one is compatible (via the ambient server api, as long as you can get signed up OK, then good to go)

OK Thanks , is there one that would work straight out of the box that you could recommend , without any other parties involved?

that is becoming harder and harder to find
I use a Davis station myself. You will not regret that

any particular model?

Been happy with my Davis Vantage pro plus, I had a Oregon wmr which did not fare well in Phoenix sun, had to replace the batteries in the senors every year or less, the cheap plastic rain gauge started falling apart in the sun.

Davis stuff seems very exxy.

Any one had any luck with Jaycar stuff?

my brother got one of those but its failing after only a few years
