Dear Blick, Jos, X-Air, and WeatherCat climate watchers,

Thank you for your contributions!

. . .
Climate change in action I guess...  :-\

Sadly, there is evidence of climate change everywhere you look it seems.

Need to edit the rain totals (found the late falling leaves doing an extra bit of "filtering"!). [blush]
. . . .

Indeed our weather stations need a bit of 'luv every now and then!

So who's next?

   Warmer than average (51.42°F versus an average of 46.71)

February 2024 was (a lot!) wetter and warmer than normal in The Netherlands.

Weathercat recorded 118.6mm of rain, which is double the normal amount.

The average temperature was 8.0ºC, which is 4.3ºC(!) above the average, and even 5.7ºC above the previous century's average February temperature.
The whole winter (Dec-Feb) was very 'warm' in the Netherlands. Our official meteorological institute (KNMI) recorded a 6.3ºC average versus a normal of 3.9ºC.

Climate change in action I guess...  :-\

Dear WeatherCat observers of the changing climate,

Okay, this time I get to start the observations for February.  As usual, I'll give a plug to Grand's WeatherCatRCP:



We expected rain during the night, so I waited to pick up the data until this morning.  All in all, very similar to January.

So who's next?

Dear WeatherCat observers of the seasons turning,

The days are definitely getting longer around here and we are having something of a heat wave for February.  This afternoon we had some pretty clouds that created a different kind of scene than my usual photographic style:



Spring isn't here yet, but winter is definitely starting to wind down.

WeatherCat Integration / Re: Anyone using the XML driver?
« Last post by iccb on February 25, 2024, 04:30:41 PM »

I don't know the specifics behind the rss format, but that XML's <item> element, hypothetically, could throw things. I don't know how strict the WC's XML reader is. Otherwise the XML looks right.

As for data, I noticed your number localization uses commas instead of decimals. Perhaps WeatherCat isn't understanding the commas? If possible, for the data values it might be worth switching to decimals instead of commas.

The data format is told here: https://wiki.trixology.com/index.php?title=Release_Notes#V2.1.0_-_3rd_April_2015

Added a generic XML based station driver. This connects to your server via HTTP and expects to read the real time weather data as an XML document.
In the I.P. field of the Station Communications window in WeatherCat enter the URL to the document - typically something like myserver.com/my_weather.cgi?action=1
From the XML document received, the following keys will be decoded:
AirTemp_C, IntTemp_C, T1_C, T2_C, T3_C, T4_C - External, internal and 4 additional temperature sensors (°C)
RH, IntRH - External and internal relative humidity (0-100)
Solar - Solar radiation (W/M^2)
UVIndex
Barometer_hPa - barometer in hecto-pascals
WindSpeed_ms - windspeed in m/s
WindDirect_deg - wind direction in degrees
Rain_mm - rain in millimetres - can be accumulating rain or daily rain
The format of a data item in the document should be of the form:
<value>
<name>item name</name>
<data>item value</data>
</value>
for example:
<value>
<name>RH</name>
<data>52</data>
</value>
Notes:
1. The weather server is polled every 3 seconds.


but I really don't understand how this should work. There is reference for .cgi web page, and basic searching from web doesn't make me smarter with this..
I can modify the rss.xml file output and will try to change it decimals.

These topics caught my attention...
Trying to get XML driver to work with my WeeWX controlled Davis Station...
I have done simple XML file to put real time data in XML format, but maybe the format is not right?
Here is to file: https://kauttua.net/rss.xml
I guess it's in rss format still, any hints anybody?
