Hi you Weewx experts! first I would like to say, that my station ( a WS2900 clone) is not that sophisticated, especially concerning wind speed and direction. There are many tall trees around, being closer than their 10fold height, so that the wind is often much smoother and more disturbed than on top of the trees. However, I still would like to compare the data to the data provided by local weather forecasters. Commonly the wind is announced in the literally equation of the predicted Beaufort value. So, they talk of "fresh breeze", when wind with 5 bft is expected. Therefore I wanted to display the wind data in bft and its literal equivalent also. In Weewx 3 I adopted the solution found here: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/weewx-user/b7TqpYD9sxY/discussion which works fine so far. After upgrading to Weewx 4 I found a new entry in
[StdWXCalculate] [[Calculations]] beaufort = prefer_hardware which raised the question, if I could replace the previous solution by that introduced in version 4. I expected, that there would be an option in the [[[Units]]] section to chose 'beaufort' instead of 'knot'. But this is not offered in the options there. Anyway, this would not be the solution, because I want to see the wind speed as it is actually shown, and *in addition *in terms of Beaufort. This should also be shown in an extra graph over time. Does anyone have a clue, how to manage this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
