Meteotemplate Forum

Hello to all, pleased to see we now have a dedicated forum.
My name is Phil and I have been keeping weather data using weather display since 2008, I have been using Meteotemplate for over a year now and find it the best template around. I have very little knowledge of how it all works so it is great that Jachym is so helpful.
My current weather station is an AERCUS (fine offset type), not the best but it does for me. It works fine 99% of the time but every so often throws a wobbly and either has a day when it throws out ridiculous spikes or flatlines for no apparent reason (the spikes I can sort out in the template).
I have had issues with some blocks and plugins which seem to be as a result of issues on the servers at my host not allowing some external data through, but these are not essential blocks/plugins for me so I let it go.
Looking forward to some useful discussions on this forum

Hi Phil,
welcome to the forum.
With regards to spikes... don´t worry, I have the same problem and I gave up. Just looking at today´s data I "had" a wind gust of 144km/h... I just deleted it, but it is almost every hour something.
There is a data quality control plugin so that might help as well.

Hi Phil, I also have an Aercus, I have the odd spike as well but Cumulus usually gets rid of them before they are recorded. In addition once every few months it sends no data to the laptop, so you have to disconnect it and then restart it. It's cheap but does a lot for £100

Hi,

Mine PWS is also an Aercus (Weather ranger) but no abnormal data until now.
am i to understand that it will happen one of this days

Don´t worry Gilles, you are probably nice to your station so it behaves.

I'm a nice guy I know that

Yes same here and that's what I have to do
