Observations / Re: What are your end-of-month climate statistics according to WeatherCat?
« Last post by Blicj11 on June 09, 2026, 10:41:38 PM »
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!!

Dear Chris and budget-conscious WeatherCatters,

I have the lightning sensor and it's battery powered - AAA (I think) and they last about a year.

I'm fairly sure that the particulate sensor is battery powered too, but don't have one to check

Thanks!  That's good news for me!  Time for me to get my act together and actually buy them!

Dear WeatherCat climate watchers,

It is June 1st so I can report back on what happened in May at Canebas Weather Station.  I couldn't figure out how to get a neat display from WeatherKitten so here is old reliable WeatherCatRCP:



Of course the location for the data remains the same:



It was another surprisingly wet month here.  Alas by the time you reach May, the rainfall amounts disappear quickly as the temperatures start to climb.  The dry season has most definitely taken hold and there won't be any real relief until November. 

Such are da' conditions that prevail in Northern California.

Edouard

P.S.  Who's next?

Dear Steve and WeatherCatters who are handy with a camera.

Thanks for sharing!!  ThU5:-)

It is strange thing to say but I really miss the time to take photos these days.

Development Blog / Do any of the accessories need external power? (Re: Ecowitt - some thoughts)

Dear WeatherCatters who have jumped on the Ecowitt bandwagon,

I have the basic Ecowitt station but still haven't had time to buy the sensors.  Alas, the particulate sensor I realized isn't going to be as useful when using my 1967 Airstream because when I'm in some sort of camping or RV-Park situation, there will be people with camp fires.  Still, if I'm completely alone (boondocking as the RV slang goes) the particulate sensor might alert me to a fire that nothing else would.

The lightning sensor should be useful to alert me to a thunderstorm still a bit away.

Can somebody tell me if either of these sensors need to be supplied with power?  I would need to run a power line from inside the trailer and the interior is starting to be buttoned up.
