Removing Erroneous Entries - Weather Underground

[GreggWard]

Can anyone please tell me how I could remove/replace some completely erroneous entries in my Weather Underground Weather Station information.

The Weather Station ID and relavent entries are as follows:

The first entry set of entries contain invalid data for the Wind Gust and are showing the the local air pressure, as opposed to the Sea Level pressure.

This problem with the data happened when I switched over from running FreeWx on a Windows box, to running WeatherUpdate(pyweather 0.1) on a Fedora Linux box. The WeatherUpdate script had a bug in the calculation of the Wind Gust from a WM-918 Weather Station. I have since fixed this script and now the data being recorded is correct.

I have since noticed, whilst being away in Auckland, that my Weather Station is sending the rainfall data im mm, but the pyweather script is sending the rainfall data up in inches.

I am just in the process of amending the pyweather script to ensure that it understands that the rainfall being sent to it is in mmm as opposed to inches.

Any help regarding information on how to remove/replace these entries, would be much appreciated.

Thanks

you would need to contact WU and get them to clean up/delete those entries I would think...if they can/will...

Thanks Brian.

I should have loaded the Linux version of WeatherDisplay, then I probably wouldn't have had this problem in the first place;-)

I have contacted Weather Underground several times, but still haven't received a response.

Brian,

No, I wasn't aware that WeatherDisplay was the first software to work with WeatherUnderground. Well Done

I'm mainly using pyweather as I also have a keen interest in the Python language and just want to use these skills to adapt this software.
