I updated the weewx-DWD extension.
As I heard there is no such thing like "Biowetter" in English. It means how the weather influences how people feel, whether the weather is positive or negative to mental performance, and how the weather influences the symptoms of certain chronic diseases like asthma, rheumatics, migraine etc. The pollen forecast is important to people suffering from allergies. Anyway, the word "biometerology" is known in English, too.
So there is a new module. It gets the biowetter and pollen forecasts from the German Weather Service DWD and provides observation types containing the actual values as well as HTML tables for including in skins.
See here for an example.
For the future I plan to replace the risk description texts by symbols that are easier to recognize.
Along with this update I made some changes to increase thread safety and to replace old files by new ones in an atomic way. This is, because during testing I experienced some freezing of the report thread, and I did not know the reason. So I assumed there could be some kind of race condition.

You haven't lived in the US Pacific NW in the gloomy wet 8 months of the year :-)

Having visited Germany many times through the years, I can attest that the weather is just as bad, especially around Hamburg and Kiel. Take the PNW, then add 5° latitude!

So I learnt a new word: PNW.
But there are other regions in Germany. The small town Ilmenau in Thuringia claims that the sky is always blue there and the weather is fair. They included it in their town logo which reads "himmelblau" (English: blue like the sky). And in case you are interested in german literature you should have been there.
