Hello, I would love to see the values of SunshineHours in the .cat file if possible. Just like the values of UV and SolarRadiation is visible there. Thanks in advance.

Dear Reinhard and WeatherCat tinkerers,
Hello, I would love to see the values of SunshineHours in the .cat file if possible. Just like the values of UV and SolarRadiation is visible there. Thanks in advance.
I don't know if that would solve your problems but you can get the number of sunshine hours with the STAT$ tag. Here is an example from page 105 of the WeatherCat manual:
Notes:
SUNSHINEHOURS can only be used with TOTAL (to find the total number of hours over a given date range)
e.g. Hours of sunshine today = STAT$SUNSHINEHOURS:TOTAL:TODAY$
is rendered as:
Hours of sunshine today = 0.52
You can use the STAT$ tag with AppleScript, so you could write a quick tool that would generate the number of sunshine hours for each day in a given part of the year. Sorry, I'm running a mile a minute, but if you need some help with that, perhaps I could come up with something later this week.

You can use the iOS App, WeatherCatRCP, to get the Sunshine hours as follows:
WeatherCatRCP
Tab: Dial-A-Stat
Row 1 - Sunshine hours
Row 2: Total
Row 3: Today
Row 3 can also be Since 9AM, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last month, This year, Last year, This season, or All-time.

Thanks to all. I know how I can find SunshineHours within WeatherCat. The background is I want to export the data to test it in another weather program (CumulusMX). Neither exporting nor reading the .cat/.hrs file does contain SunshineHours.
