@Gary Thanks for your reaction.  The offending character is likely  the 
degrees sign in the title row. But after removing them I faced another 
problem: TypeError: "delimiter" must be a 1-character string 
I have tried many changes and used a one row testfile but the error 
remained. Finally i copied the data from the davis site to excell. When 
using these data there is no error. However the timestamp can not be found.

This is the tile and a line of the data.csv file
