Barry's reply was caught up again by the Google-groups spaminator. Even
when I release the posts they show up as deleted so I have posted the first
below (sans some formatting):

Thanks Gary, just got around to reading your post after an accelerated
course in how to mess things up on Linux!! I am still not totally sure how
Linux handles all the Date formatting as on first install the system clock
t the bottom is in 24hr format, but every thing else displays as 12 hr. I
finally solved the issue (I think) with the following Linux command
sudo localectl set-locale LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
My locale was set as Canada where the 12hr format is more common, by
changing the TIME part to GB it then uses 24hr. I am sure there are many
good reasons I shouldn't do it this way but.........
Mind you, I haven't found a way to return to the 12hr format (not that I
want to). I would have thought that
sudo localectl set-locale LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8 would work, but it doesn't!

The problem you have with a skin such as Belchertown that relies on a mix
of HTML and Javascript is that you are now no longer simply using WeeWX
tags and formatting to generate the displayed data, but you likely have
Javascript formatting to deal with as well. Chances are that changing WeeWX
formatting, particularly for date-time data, will not give you what you
want.
I don't use the Belchertown skins but looking in some of the templates
pointed me to these settings in the Belchertown skin.conf [Labels]
[[Generic]] (circa line 590):
# moment.js default labels formats
time_earthquake = "LLL"
time_last_updated = "LL, LTS"
time_snapshot_records_today_header = "dddd, LL"
time_snapshot_records_month_header = "MMMM YYYY"
time_sunrise = "LT"
time_sunset = "LT"
time_forecast_alert_expires = "LLL"
time_forecast_date = "ddd M/DD"
time_forecast_time = "ddd LT" # must be {day} {time} format
time_forecast_last_updated = "LLL"
time_records_page_full_date = "LLL"
time_records_page_month_day_year = "LL"
time_records_page_rainfall_range_begin = "MMMM DD"
time_records_page_rainfall_range_end = "LL"
To change the 'Last Updated' date-time on main page you need to change the
time_last_updated setting. I suspect you will find that "LL LTS" is a
locale based format which may or may not give you a 24 hour time format
depending on your systems locale. If you google '*formatting date and time
with moment.js*' you should find some useful information, it looks like
something like 'D MMMM YYYY HH:mm:ss' may be a good starting point. Try
changing that setting though you will need to wait for the next report
cycle to see the effect of your changes.
