weewx.conf - some questions

                # month      = %d-%b-%Y %H:%M

                # rainyear   = %d-%b-%Y %H:%M
                # current    = %d-%b-%Y %H:%M

                # ephem_year = %d-%b-%Y %H:%M
                # The following line is used to keep the above lines indented
                # properly. It can be ignored.
                unused = unused

This from the weewx.conf in 5.1. Is this correct? In my old weewx.conf:

I see

hour = %H:%M

day = %X

etc....which seems to make more sense to me than the above....what am I missing?

The above configurations, as is, has no effects. You can specify TimeFormats, if you are not pleased with the default ones.

It's always worth to check the config: https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/custom/custom-reports/?h=timeformats#date-and-time-formats-for-tags

The authors invested a lot of time documenting all the features. Read it, you should then be able to answer the above question yourself. If questions remain, I'm confident you'll get detailed support here.

Thanks for that!
