Bill, The (one) change from b2 to b3 is that Seasons will now display whatever data it can find in any of the extended schema files in your database. Previously, Seasons displayed a fixed subset of the extended schema. b3/b4 Seasons is not creating the bogus data, it is merely displaying it - something else is creating the bogus data. That could be any of a myriad of sources; the driver, a core WeeWX service or some third party service. It is impossible to say what the source could be without knowing how WeeWX is configured, ie what driver, what services etc are loaded and how are they configured. That is what weewx.conf/wee_debug will tell us.
Since you seem to have installed the deb package you should be able to run wee_debug by simply typing: $ wee_debug —info to display the wee_debug output on the console. You can add the —output option to redirect the output to a file if you wish. Alternatively, if you are not comfortable using wee_debug you can just take copy of your weewx.conf, sanitise it by obliterating any sensitive info (user names, passwords, API keys etc) and post the sanitised file.
