In a word no it can't be (simply ie without getting your hands into some code) done as weewx stands now. The way I think of it is weewx is fitted 'for but not with' generating plots(images) over an arbitrary period (ie a user specified start and stop) . Essentially what is needed to do it is th

One of the factors that led me to go with Davis is the wind update rate. When it's really blowing it's usually pretty gusty and I want to see something approaching real time. I'd never believe an anemometer that's only showing 30 second averages or even 30 second latency. Also, after doing some
