I don't have any rain going on here now. I'd like to open this for comments. I propose changing:
rain0total-daysum=in.2 ----should instead be---> rain0total-sum60=in.2
Right? I changed it in post above...I think this is right.
Sorry. At least I caught my own bugs early.
I think that's correct.
I also changed to wind0dir-act since it calls for instantaneous wind speed (edit) direction and I used wind0avgwind-act for speed (I don't see a wind0wind-avg5).
Yes it calls for instantaneous wind direction. But some weather vanes flap around a lot. I don't want to send random wind directions that just happened to be not quite pointing in the right direction. Sending average for the past reporting cycle (5 minutes) only improves the data I think. Also it is likely that Windy specified instantaneous wind direction because a lot of stations are probably not capable of calculating and sending average wind direction for the reporting period. But the Meteobridge can so why not use that to your advantage?
Also I don't understand what you mean by that you don't see a wind0wind-avg5. You can create your own calculations with the variables by adding the -avgX qualifier with X being any time frame you want. I understand your point of leaning to instead use wind0avgwind-act for speed but that variable depends on the station for determining the time frame of what is considered average, and maybe some stations don't calculate this or don't have this. I'm not saying it won't produce data but it may be just instant and not average. So for that reason I decided on wind0wind-avg5 as it should produce more reliable results without needing know what your station is doing or not.
Not looking to split hairs. This is good stuff to bring up. I'm not saying who is right or wrong. I think either way is acceptable with possible slight variation in results. I see your point of following the Windy documentation a bit more literally. I'm just thinking that I can improve on the general suggested format. Does this make sense?
