WeatherCat Web Templates / Popup Graphs
« Last post by Blicj11 on June 19, 2026, 11:40:15 PM »
It's been a long time since we had a question on this forum thread, but I have managed to come up with one. The popup windows on my SteelSeries Gauges that show a graph associated with each gauge do not open properly when hovering my mouse over the center column of gauges. They open but immediately close. The popup graphs on the two outside columns on gauges work fine. I haven't made any changes to my SteelSeries setup. Does anyone have a suggestion?

General Discussion / Disc brakes and weather station (Re: Restoring an Airstream travel trailer)
« Last post by elagache on June 12, 2026, 12:57:50 AM »
Dear WeatherCatters who enjoy a grand restoration tale,

As you can guess overwhelmed describes my normal state of being these days.  Fortunately, I'm having a restoration shop put my 1967 Airstream do the heavy lifting.  Even so, this won't be an "off-the-rack" Airstream.  One of the first things that surprised the shop was my insistence on disc brakes.  Airstreams weren't fitted with disc brakes from the factory until about 20 years ago, so I was being bold!!  However, my determination was rewarded:



A vintage travel trailer has to look right.  Still that doesn't mean it cannot look luxurious in doing it.  Here is the combination of the aluminum alloy wheels and the 2 inch white-wall tires:



There is more to report, but I thought it was good time to explain the scheme for the trailer weather station.  The idea was to use the Ecowitt sensor array and console:

Here is a photo of the setup being held by the owner of Avalon-RV:



I purchased a collapsible aluminum pole and hope to place it in this Airstream flag pole holder:

Here is a photo of that from the vendors Esty's listing:



So that is an explanation of how I hopefully would have weather data anywhere I set up camp with my trailer.

Stay tuned for further updates!!

Weather Hardware/Measurement / Setting up a dual Davis & Ecowitt station combination.

Dear WeatherCatters who are suckers for MORE!!   [biggrin]

I had not planned to have an Ecowitt station running at our house.  I only had it installed temporarily so I could test it for installation on my 1967 Airstream Trade Wind trailer.  However, when Stu added the feature to run two stations in one session of WeatherCat that was irresistible.  So I have repurposed the Ecowitt station I bought for the trailer to service as the secondary station for WeatherCat. 

Since Steve asked earlier here is what I understand is needed.  There are just two components, the sensor head:

and the receiver that WeatherCat can glean data from:

https://a.co/d/0iwXXIFE

I bought the sensor head and console and then added the receiver.  It is worth thinking about if you need another spot in your house to check weather conditions.  Here is the link to that:

Since the sensor array is now a permanent fixture of the house, I moved it to the south like my Davis instruments.  If you are in the US, you can use 3/4" galvanized pipe to make a simple and rugged holder:



Here is the two instrument arrays in one picture:



Sadly, yes indeed my Davis station is in need of some TLC.  Hopefully it can last the dry season!

So here in the center of the Alps at 1350m above sealevel we have had:

Der Mai war...
   Wärmer als im Monatsschnitt (11,19°C gegenüber einer Durchschnittstemperatur von 9,91)
   Trockener als im Monatsschnitt (58,20 mm gegenüber durchschnittlich 93,13 Niederschlag)
   Ruhiger als im Monatsschnitt (2.256 km gegenüber durchschnittlich 2.629 Windmenge)

Warmer, Dryer, Calmer

In the mountains of northern Utah, May was
     Warmer than average (47.68° F versus an average of 46.42)
     Wetter than average (2.75 in versus an average total of 2.23)
     Calmer than average (a wind run of 3,069 miles versus an average of 3,225)

And we are still in very serious drought, along with most of the western United States.

WeatherCat Feature Requests / Davis Air Quality Sensors
« Last post by edpnjax on June 09, 2026, 09:28:49 PM »
I have looked at the Wiki and the PDF manual and didn't see anything.

Are there any plans to add Tags for the Davis Air Quality sensors?  I have 2, 1 inside and 1 outside and would like to be able to incorporate those into my custom template.

Thanks!!
