This was found to be due to a loss of precision resulting from Rtgd
converting F to C and JavaScript then converting C back to F. This and
other issues were fixed by specifying US units in weewx, like this:
[RealtimeGaugeData]
...
[[Groups]]
group_pressure = inHg
group_rain = inch
group_rainrate = inch_per_hour
group_speed = mile_per_hour
group_distance = mile
group_temperature = degree_F
group_percent = percent
group_uv = uv_index
group_direction = degree_compass
And by adding US 'StringFomats', like this:
[[StringFormats]]
degree_C = %.1f
degree_F = %.1f
degree_compass = %.0f
hPa = %.1f
inHg = %.3f
inch = %.2f
inch_per_hour = %.2f
km_per_hour = %.0f
km = %.1f
knot = %.0f
mbar = %.1f
meter = %.0f
meter_per_second = %.1f
mile_per_hour = %.0f
mile = %.1f
mm = %.1f
mm_per_hour = %.1f
percent = %.0f
uv_index = %.1f
watt_per_meter_squared = %.0f
