If the option record_generation is set to 'hardware' (the default), then weewx will download all records off the data logger since the last record it has in your database. As it does so, it sends entries to the WU. So, it is always "up to date."
You can watch this happen by setting debug=1 in weewx.conf. The log will look something like this: May 23 15:40:16 nuc weewx[20710]: vantage: Getting archive packets since 2017-05-23 15:35:00 PDT (1495578900) May 23 15:40:16 nuc weewx[20710]: vantage: gentle wake up of console successful May 23 15:40:16 nuc weewx[20710]: vantage: Retrieving 1 page(s); starting index= 3 May 23 15:40:16 nuc weewx[20710]: manager: Added record 2017-05-23 15:40:00 PDT (1495579200) to database 'weewx.sdb' May 23 15:40:16 nuc weewx[20710]: manager: Added record 2017-05-23 15:40:00 PDT (1495579200) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' May 23 15:40:16 nuc weewx[20710]: vantage: DMPAFT complete: page timestamp 2017-05-14 18:20:00 PDT (1494811200) less than final timestamp 2 017-05-23 15:40:00 PDT (1495579200) May 23 15:40:16 nuc weewx[20710]: vantage: Catch up complete. In this example, the last entry in the database is 2017-05-23 15:35:00. Weewx found a single new entry in the logger since that time: 2017-05-23 15:40:00.
