Display rainrate in mm/h not mm/hr

[Geni]

Hello,

i use weewx 3.9.2 on a raspberry 3+ with a mysql database, the template is season.
unfortunately since switching to a new raspberry the rainrate is displayed with xx mm/hr but i want mm/h.
What do I have to change so that the rain rate is displayed in mm/h?

Thanks, Geni

Check your skin.conf file in the [[Labels]] section. See the docs here:  http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#how_to_change_labels

The docs don't specifically mention rain rate, but you should be able to find it in the skin.conf.

What can I change or add in my skin.conf?

[p q]

The old version that I have, in the Standard skin, there's a line that has cm_per_hour = " cm/hr" in the Labels section.  You might try putting mm_per_hour = " mm/h" in there. I don't know where your skin defines the unit text.

A more drastic change but one that I'm confident would work would be to edit units.py and make the change in line 405. This change wouldn't stand up in an upgrade, so I'd only do it as a last resort.

I have edit units.py and make the change in line 405,  "mm_per_hour"       : " mm/h",.

But it has not changed on my webpage!

Sure, more than once.

If all else fails, you can edit the template to put out the number with no formatting (.raw) and put in your own text for the unit. There should be a simple way to do this that doesn't require hacking the python code or doing the formatting manually, but I don't know where it is in your setup. I would have thought overriding the label in the skin would be the way to go.

I apologize for it not being very obvious where to change this. You need to change it in weewx.conf. 

[StdReport]

   [[Defaults]]
        [[[Units]]]
            [[[[Labels]]]]
              mm_per_hour = " mm/h"

It is not necessary to restart weewx. The changes will be picked up at the next reporting cycle.

Want me to add it to the customization docs someplace?

No, but thanks. It's not something that has to be changed very often. In fact, this is the first time I recall it coming up.

Regret to have another for you, Thomas...

I think Geni is right - in terms of ISO directives - that "h" represents hour; ISO also proscribes plurals - "foot" not "feet", "cm" not "cms", etc.

AFAIK the USA is the only country to spell the name of 100 cm as `meter`.   

I have used the information you provide above to show both mm/h and metre in place of the defaults. Many thanks!

WeeWX must be restarted, however - weewx.conf had been modified. Well, at least my instance did.

All the best for 2020!

[Thomas Keffer]

OK, you've talked me into it! The defaults now use "h", instead of "hr", "km" instead of "kms". I don't think they ever used "cms", at least, I can't find any such references.

I've also made "metre" an option to "meter".

But, "foot", instead of "feet"? So my altitude would be "700 foot"? That sounds just plain wrong to my American ear! A user can always override.

cm plural was the 2nd snag that came to me having been reading a
design with 'cms' proliferating.
Regrettably, children in the UK are taught to measure in centimetres -
millimetres are deigned `too small`.

Thank you, appreciated

My English ear too, but ISO are based in Switzerland. They do things
differently there ;)
