Conversion of data to Csv or Weatherlink format for UK Met Office upload
Stevebarker12:
Im a newbie.
I have a Youshiko YC9471 and upload weather data to Weather Underground and Weathercloud web sites.
Can anyone advise if its possible to convert this data, or the weather station data, to csv format so i can upload it to the UK Met Office Weather Observationd Website (WOW)?Alternatively, WeatherLink format?
If it is can anyone point me to instructions how to do this?
Thankyou

WOW is simply an ASCII format with details at https://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/support/dataformats#dataFileUpload
WeatherLink to WOW format I have done, just a case of following the WOW import format above

Kind regards

Actually just seen Weathercloud creates a monthly CSV format file so perhaps this can just be used to upload my weather station data to the UK Met office.
Would need to add 3 columns though - Site name,ID, Authentication key to it.
Ive sent it to Met Office to ask if this would suffice.
I read the link supplied above and could not find other software formatting Weatherlink with my type of weather station. I'm afraid I have very little knowledge of this type of thing.

Spreadsheet software is often used to manipulate .csv files. Examples of such software include Microsoft Office / Excel, and LibreOffice: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/
Import the .csv file, add columns, move them around, populate cells with text, etc. Typically, the default File Save format is NOT .csv, so when you want to output the finished file as .csv format, use something like "Save as" and choose .csv format. Terminology varies with the software, but the concepts are similar.
