Back to the list. I believe I've made the necessary additions to handle unit conversions, adjusted the decimal places accordingly, and have rejigged the australian rain setting so that it can be tweaked for other start times - ie: other countries. Apparently India and France do something similar. The skin.conf file has the details.
I woke up to the fact that the starting units should be in one of 3 forms, weewx US, METRIC, or METRICWX (without getting bogged down in edge cases.) On that basis the section [[PHPUnits]] in the skin.conf file should take care of most conversions. I also took the decimal place suggestions as used by weewx and incorporated those into the calcs. I've now included the default skins css file (weewx.css) so it should integrate with that skin as well as the seasons skin. What was called australian_rain has become shift_rain to allow anyone with oddball rain days to offset the rain start to suit their local (quirky) time. Obviously, it only affects this reports display. It may prove useful to compare the weewx data with rainfall recorded in ye-olde paper and scribe days, or to stop great grandpa complaining about change and why it shouldn't happen! If nothing else it made me appreciate the logical simplicity of midnight to midnight results, especially being the total for THAT day, and with no other mental gymnastics required! Following on from the data checking viewpoint. You can set ext_interval to be the same as your archival interval (rather than the default 30 minutes) and it will return all archive data as recorded for that day. Asking for every record for the day will add extra load onto weewx and will more than likely interfere with report generation, but it's an option that may save firing up your database tools immediately. Use with caution. I now have a live version running against an sqlite database at my stations site http://203.213.243.61/weewx/wxobs/index.php It's a small database, the values start from the 5th Oct 2017 but it should stay current if the network stays up.
