Now having a working weewx website (thanks to much help here), I am wondering if there is an easy way to force the loaded web page to update whenever weewx runs a report. I am using nginx server.

google for auto update html page and then change the html templates accordingly.  Autoupdating is not really a weewx issue, weewx creates the new pages every report cycle after that it is up to the browser and the server.

There’s a refresh tag that can be added to the html.  As Andrew said, google for it to find the correct syntax.

Or, use one of the AJAXy skins that does live weather feed — both MesoWX and Belchertown have worked well for me. Find them at https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki#skins. This is even better than refreshing the page because the data updates in real time, which is particularly interesting for winds.

I used the below in the <head> tag of the html to force the browser to refresh every 2 minutes:

 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="120">
