File Format - Hourly, Daily, Monthly Data Files

[John Davis]

Hi all

I'm trying to decipher the Hourly, Daily, and Monthly data files in PYWWS. Has anyone deciphered them and can they tell me what each column represents, Apologies if this question has already been answered. Thanks

Rather than try to decipher the files, you could just look at the
software that creates them.

Each file type has an associated class, such as RawStore (see
https://github.com/jim-easterbrook/pywws/blob/bac9a4b1039cdd2512b16dd4dd80abd0eaa9acaf/src/pywws/filedata.py#L447).
The classes each have a 'key_list' attribute which says what each column
is. Most of the items are in the expected units - Celsius degrees,
metres/second, hPa, etc. 'idx' is a UTC timestamp, rain is mm of rain
since the outside sensors were last reset.
