Weatherlink and clocks going back?
 

How does Weatherlink deal with this?

The reason I ask is that my VP2 console say's since midnight I have had 10.4mm, yet WL downloaded back to my computer only say's 9.2mm. And adding up the individual entries it does add up to 9.2mm.

The first rainfall recorded was 03:30, yet looking at my old WMII, which is never changed from gmt, it rained between 00:45 and 02:00 in the morning. My suspicion is that it has fallen through the net, so to speak, in fact my WMII had a total of 11.2mm and normally they record very close as they sit next to each other.

Not the end of the world, but somethings adrift here I thinks.

I have Weatherlink set to GMT all the time. The professional
meteorological world operates to a GMT clock throughout the year so
that is what I have stuck to.

Just gone back into Dat/Time settings on WeatherLink and I had 'Auto detect' ticked, so I now have both 'Daylight Saving time' and 'Auto Detect' un ticked. I assume this will now keep everything on gmt next March?

For big data also
eg pompey at
https://www.ntslf.org/storm-surges/l...ort=Portsmouth
There seems to be an offset in the surge predictor, if you look back
into the
archives , not observable on a day to day basis because of
meteorlogogical variability. Part of the year gives good agreement, on
averag, and then the other part of the year an offset bias observable in
the quasi-random pair plots.
GMT/BST vertical offset of about 0.15m problem, the transition step
seems to drift in a week or two after GMT-BST and then a week or two
after BST-GMT change. Perhaps due to the asymetric nature of tide plots
it gradually feeds through to a full step shift.

The only explanation I've got from anyone at the NOC is that the people
who set up the surge predictor, no longer work at the NOC , and there is
no one around to correct the code/data feed or whatever.
If it aint actually broke, don't fix it.

Mmm, anenometers stopped working on the VP2 since 19:30, nothing to say battery's low on Station No '*'. I'll find out in the morning if it starts working with the solar panel. Fortunately the WMII is still working.

Very strange, it's woken up again? I would imagine it is a loose connection into the Tx box for the anemometer, it is what I would expect to see if I unplugged it up there.
