Weather Station and Weather Display

[Robert Dewey]

What programs do you guys use to log weather station data (and possibly upload it to http://www.wunderground.com)? The reason I ask, is the software I am currently using "Weather Display" keeps spiking my wind data. It will be working fine, then all of a sudden I see a wind gust >70MPH... Looking at my actual weather station shows no values even close to that, so this software is some how making up numbers... What's the deal?

BTW, my weather station is a LaCrosse 2310 (I believe).

Here is the data that is plotting, everything but the >60MPH entries are correct: http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation...sp?ID=KMIROCHE2

This doesn't really help you, but I am using Weatherlink for my Davis Vantage Pro. Its the software that came with the data logger. I played around with some of those after market programs, but they were so messy. Too many options and too many crashes.

The Weatherlink software supports uploads to Weather Underground with one small software download. Here's my station:

I wish there was some way to edit the data after it is sent to Weather Underground. It would be helpful to fix your wind spikes. I'd like it to adjust my precip data in the winter when it snows and I have to use my manual rain bucket.

Okay, I just terminated Weather Display and installed "Ambient Weather". I have it set to upload data to Wunderground at a temporal resolution of 2 minutes. It works in conjunction with my weather station's actual software, and seems to be ALOT more accurate so far.

Yeah..ambient weather's Virtual Weather Station is WAAAY better. I've used both.

You should check out the MySQL add-on for VWS. You can then run my vwsPHP code and do graphing and lots of other cool stuff.
