Hi,
Unfortunately the weeWX dot code formatting only lets you display local
times. Depedning on what you want to do there are a number of ways you can
produce a GMT date time. If you were working with $current.dateTime I
assume you are wanting to include this in a template. For one offs the
easiest way is to insert a little python code in the template to do the
formatting for you. Something like:
#import time
#set $gmt_st = time.gmtime($current.dateTime.raw)
#set $gmt = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S", $gmt_st)
Local=$current.dateTime.format("%H:%M:%S") GMT=$gmt
included in your template will result in something like:
Local=14:20:00 GMT=04:20:00
being displayed in the generated file. The first 3 lines can appear
anywhere in your template as long as they are before your first use of
$gmt. The various format codes available are listed at the bottom of this
page
<https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior>.
Of course if you are wanting to do something more complex like repeated use
with various formats this approach gets a little timesome and something
like a SLE might be more efficient.
