It's available in both the LOOP packets and in the archive record as variable 'forecastRule'.
This is a bit-mapped variable, described in the Davis Vantage Serial Protocol <http://www.davisnet.com/support/weather/download/VantageSerialProtocolDocs_v261.pdf> (see page 23). But, you're far better off getting a real forecast, using Matthew's forecast extension <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/forecasting>. The Davis icon is basically just using whether the barometric pressure is going up or down, along with temperature. That's it. If it was that simple, the National Weather Service would not be a billion dollar agency. -tk On Thu, Jan 12, 2017 at 6:18 AM, 'Christian Peters' via weewx-user < weewx-user@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > is there an easy way (sample code snippet) to readout the forcast text > (displayed if I hit the 'Forcast' button) out of my Vantage Pro 2 and > display the text in my Standard skin!? > > Thanks for any help! > > Regards, > > Christian > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "weewx-user" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to weewx-user+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
