Re: [weewx-user] Display local wind names

[Thomas Keffer]

1. You can do something like this in the templates (NOT TESTED):

#if $current.windDir.raw >= 22.5 and $current.windDir.raw <= 67.5
   #set label = "Bura"
#elif $current.windDir.raw > 67.5 and $current.windDir.raw <= 112.5
   #set label = "Levanat"
#elif $current.windDir.raw > 112.5 and $current.windDir.raw <= 175.5
   #set label = "Jugo"
...
#else
   #set label = "something"
#end if
The wind direction is $label

Note the use of the .raw suffix. This is necessary to get a numeric value
(otherwise, you get an instance of the ValueHelper class, which cannot do
arithmetic). Also, the labels, Bura, etc., must be in quotes.

2. Not sure I understand what you're asking. Are you referring to the
y-axis in plots?

[weewx-user] Display local wind names

[Pila]

I would like to use and display our local wind names. I understand this may 
be impossible, but it is not my fault WeeWX impresses me so much that I 
expect it to do anything I wish :) Not my fault!

We have 8 distinct winds governing not only weather but also the mood of 
most people. Just ask the police during Jugo :) Unless I am sailing and 
watching the compass or the map, I really do not use degrees. Plus, not the 
same watching the map or a graph. We normally use local wind names. Only if 
unsure, we may use Cardinal directions for wind. But degrees - never. We do 
it this way for thousands of years :) We comment winds many times each day.

So, when the wind is NNE-NE-ENE - I would like to label it Bura. For 
ENE-E-ESE wind I would like to label it Levanat. For ESE-SE-SSE I would 
like to see Jugo and so on. If I could somehow define wind lables with 
custom resolution, it would be perfect. This wish applies to both graphs 
and the main page.

1. At main SmartPhone page, now I get (currently) Wind: 5 km/h E (98). I 
guess it shold be possible to put somewhere something like:

if $current.windDir >= 22.5 and $current.windDir <= 67.5 then label is Bura
else if $current.windDir > 67.5 and $current.windDir <= 112.5 then label is 
Levanat
else if $current.windDir > 112.5 and $current.windDir <= 157.5 then label is 
Jugo



And based on that, print cardinal leter and the wind name on the main page. 
If this is possible, I would appreciate a hint and a little help.

2. In addition to dispalying 8 or 16 cardinal points of the compass as 
Letters in the Wind graphs, I would also like to add above labels over the 
graphs indicating Wind names. Bura would go over NE - 45 deg, Levanat over 
E -90 deg, and Jugo over SE - 135 deg and so on.

I do not care if it is complicated.
