Still lost what you're getting at, nor if you solved your own problem somehow (and how, for the next guy). Bottom line is you have to understand your os and how it logs. You also have to completely describe your setup so we can try to help. That's why we always ask. Most common os will log

You said "*/var/log/weewx.log has been empty since the end of January.*" That file is not created in a vanilla default installation. That means you did something to choose to make that configuration happen. I suspect you might have followed this wiki page (link)

Seems like your system uses systemd since you state that you tried "I run systemctl start weewx" Based on that weewx seems to have a unit file name of "weewx" Under Systemd you can use journalctl to query the contents of the systemd journal. You can pass it a unit file name, and start stop ranges a
