Import HevyWeather data

Post by Tigro11 » Fri Nov 22, 2019 7:37 am

Good morning guys,
I have to import the data from my station, only the wind direction field puts me letters and not number.
meteotemplate does not give me the opportunity to change the type of field.
How can I solve it?

Thanks

I don't think the Meteotemplate can handle the text like "NW". That said, easy work-around would be to do a find/replace on your source data before the import and replace the strings with their number equivalent. So for example, do a find/replace changing NW to 45, E to 90, etc. I had to do similar cleanup when I first changed over to Meteotemplate. Pull your data into any spreadsheet program or text editor to do the find/replace option.

Hope that helps!
