Thanks. I was able to edit the archive database. 

 

My next question is where is the record high/lo data stored in? I need to 
remove those entries?

 

Thanks

Dave

Subject: Re: [weewx-user] Abnormal Rain amount

 

You can start by tweaking the StdQC section in weewx.conf to limit the 
erroneous values.  I don't know what causes it. I get random winds of 40 mph 
when I've never seen real wind above 20 in my sheltered location.

 

To fix it, I stop the weewx service (sudo /etc/init.d/weewx stop on my 
raspberry PI). Make a backup copy of the database (/var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb is 
the default)  and then edit the database to remove the bogus entries. You can 
use any SQLite database editor, but I copy it to my Windows PC and edit it with 
DB Browser. You'll want the archive table. DB Browser lets you filter the 
results. Look in the rain or maybe rainRate field. I'd just null out the bad 
records or put in 0s. 

Save and copy the file back and restart Weewx and you should be good to go.

 

When you're editing the db, one thing I find useful is to check the dateTime 
field of the records that I'm editing. This is stored as unix Epochs. Easiest 
way to convert to human readable time is to use a online tool like 
https://www.epochconverter.com/

 

Good luck

Hello everyone, I am fairly new to running weewx and so far I love it. I am 
running it on a raspberry pi with a separate MySQL server and HTTP server. Here 
is my problem. This morning I was looking at the weather data thru the http 
server and I noticed that I received a very large amount of rain, but in fact 
there is no rain at the place of my sensor. So I have a couple of questions. 
1st – Is there a way to see what triggered the large amount of rain? It 
measured 5+ inches of rain. 2nd – Is there a way to adjust or remove that entry 
so it doesn’t skew the data? 3rd – I have seen this a couple of times, but is 
there a way to help prevent this?

 

Thanks

Dave
