No reason to upgrade unless you need the functionality of the newer versions. I have a station that is still running v2.6.2!However, the Python consortium will no longer support Python 2.x as of 1 January 2020. I suspect operating system providers will begin dropping it from their distributions soon after. So, there will be a reason to upgrade to V4 sometime next year.-tk

I am in a similar boat. I am running 3.5.0 on my site. I have put off upgrading it since it's running fine with no problems. I want to see if the newer version would cause problems if I upgraded so I created a virtual machine using Virtual Box and installed Raspian on it, put the latest Weewx and copied my custom skin and other files. It took some tweaking but it was fine.I haven't made the jump to moving my main site to 3.9.x yet. I have been thinking of waiting for 4 but I could if I ran into some reason to upgrade. The thing that might make me upgrade is getting a better forecasting service. I was using WU but it stopped working and I switched to NWS. I might look into one of the others which might mean I upgrade.Why do you want to upgrade? Unless you change skins you'll see no difference.

--Think doing some RTFM answered my question. It looks like I can install on top and run 'wee_database --update' and all should be well.Maybe I should keep more up-to-date with new versions of WeeWx, not to mention new versions of Raspberian!
