Re moving weather station

[Doug Westbrook]

Hi,

I am moving from Nanaimo BC to Quesnel BC. It has been suggested to create a new station for my new location. Can I just change the weewx conf with new staion info or do I have to delete all the old data? If I have to delete the data where and which files do I remove.

Thanks, Doug

Your old data will be meaningless in a new location. For example, a plot of this year's temperature will have an abrupt discontinuity. Better to retire your old data and start afresh.

All you have to do is move the old database and generated files aside. Plus, of course, modify weewx.conf for your new location. For example, if you did a package install it would look something like this:

sudo mv /var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb /var/lib/weewx/weewx-nanaimo.sdb

sudo mv /var/www/html/weewx /var/www/html/weewx-nanaimo

If you did a setup.py install, like this:

mv /home/weewx/archive/weewx.sdb /home/weewx/archive/weewx-nanaimo.sdb

mv /home/weewx/public_html /home/weewx/public_html-nanaimo
