Error in kPa

[Jacques Desroches]

Hi,

In Canada, we display barometer in kPa (with only one decimal)

but when pressure is below 1000kPa, Weewx display only 2 digits 

(99,xxkPa instead of 999,xx), is this a bug?

Regards,

Jacques

Hello, Jacques

Which skin, and where?

Hi Tom,

I'm using my own template for my site (www.meteostours.ca)
and display barometer pressure with this command : 

$current.barometer.kPa.format(add_label=False)

I'm working to adapt my other templates (on weatherbyyou.com) to weewx

Regards,

Jacques

I'm a little confused here. Pressure in kPa is usually around 100 kPa, not 1000. Are you sure you don't mean hPa or mbar?

Hi Tom,

Sorry, I was confused about hPa (in Cumulus) and the kPa.

Could you tell me how to display it with only one decimal?

Thanks,

Jacques

It's treated the same as any other override. In weewx.conf:

[StdReport]

  ...

  [[Defaults]]

    ...

    [[[Units]]]

      ...

      [[[[StringFormats]]]]

        kPa = %.1f
