Have also just compared the 2018 NOOA reports from weewx and weatherview. 
Now 99% was imported to weewx but the Temp and Wind are spot on with each 
other but the rain totals are about 25% lower in weewx compared 
to weatherview. for all 7 completed months. Just thought I would mention it.
And thanks for your help so far.
