" That's exactly the use case for MQTT and data from loop packets..." No, it is a different use. I am interested in retaining historical records. When the storm was on I had no time to look at transient records, and afterwards I was inspecting damage and working out what needed immediate attention.
The 1 minute interval is a trade-off I accepted for storing the occasional rapidly changing conditions against extra storage volume. The other example I quoted, it was months afterwards when I looked at the detail.
