I have updated to v4.0.3 (setup.py method) and I want to calculate heat index using the "old" NWS algorithm. In my weewx.conf I have added:

[StdWXCalculate]

[[Algorithms]]

heatindex = old

but this doesn't seem to have any effect. From looking at wxformulas.py I had assume that setting the algorithm value to anything other than "new" would work. Can anyone advise what I need to do to get this working?

Thanks!

Hi,

I presume you meant 4.3.0 since there is no 4.0.3. As per the User Guide have you tried:

[StdWXCalculate]

[[WXXTypes]]

[[[heatindex]]]

algorithm = old

Yes - my bad. I meant 4.3.0

Thanks for the link - I'm not sure why I didn't spot that as it is quite obvious. Thanks for pointing it out
