Beaufort is treated as a separate observation type, not an alternative unit. So, you should be able to use it like any other type. For example,
<p>The current wind speed is $current.windSpeed, which is beaufort $current.beaufort.</p> If you want to plot it, you would need to put 'beaufort' in your database schema. -tk On Wed, Jul 8, 2020 at 6:42 AM Vetti52 <drve...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi you Weewx experts! > > first I would like to say, that my station ( a WS2900 clone) is not that > sophisticated, especially concerning wind speed and direction.
