In weewx.conf I have inserted the following position of my station.

latitude = 51.033056
longitude = 13.642825

When I check the clientraw.txt I find this dates.

51.033056 -13.642825

Please let me know what I can do to modify it.

Best regards

Ulf

Hi,

That is not a bug as clientraw.txt uses negative values for east longitude and positive for west. If you have your own code/scripts for processing clientraw.txt data it will need to take this into account, third party code/scripts should interpret clientraw.txt longitude correctly. You can certainly change it by changing your stations longitude in weewx.conf but that will cause problems for WeeWX and anything that relies on clientraw.txt.
