More Solar and UV information

Post by BobW55 » Wed Oct 04, 2017 4:46 pm

Would be nice to have more graphs with Solar and UV information. Really nice to see them graphed together.
We have a neighbor person who suffers from a skin illness and is VERY sensitive to UV and sun. I never realized till about 6 months ago when they told me how much they rely on information from my station. The closest "Official" weather office is over 50 miles away,

Hi,
this is something I mentioned in one of the previous Q/A, the problem is that I do not have these sensors and I made the decision not to develop anything that I cannot test thoroughly. Current conditions are fine, that can easily be tested with dummy numbers, but stats not. I made some WxSim scripts and several others which were not possible to test propely and it was always a nightmare trying to fix something.

I therefore decided 2 versions ago I will at least include logging of this info, so you have the data in the DB, but I will not make anything that would actually use it extensively.
