I think I must be missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to display data for a specific date in the Seasons skin. I can see statistics for the current day, and I can see how to bring up the NOAA reports, but how do I pull up statistics for yesterday or any arbitrary date? 

This is Seasons 5.0.2.

Thanks!

Weewx generates a variety of predefined static web pages when the reports periodically run.

If you want something much more generic that would let you pick ‘any’ date of your choosing then you’d have to write some custom code to make that happen…

You could run a report for any date.  For instance

sudo weectl report run --date=2026-01-02 --time=00:00

would run a report for New Year's day of this year.

Jeff perhaps I misinterpreted what you wanted. I was thinking you wanted some web based way to pick a date from a calendar picker or by entering a date in a form then clicking ok. That would need some code to enhance the skin.

Running weectl from the shell gets you ireports as of that specified date but when weewxd runs the normal reports the next time it’ll revert to current info.

It would be more efficient to use a javascript graphing library like Highcharts and have it plot data instead of pre-rendering a lot of static graph images.

I believe this is the direction they went with the new Belchertown skin. It's just a matter of exposing suitable data and letting the browser do all rendering.

When Jeff asked about Seasons skin specifically and statistics I interpreted that to mean text key/value pairs ala the data on the left hand side of the Seasons skin.   So I was thinking some javascript addition to view a generated alternate statistics.inc file or the like.

But yes Belchertown original + the newer fork both let you scroll nicely in their graphs.  Unfortunately you can only scroll backward one item at a time which (to me) isn't what he was asking about.

Yeah, what I was looking for was something like what Weather Underground has. There you have a "Weather History" section that lets you select a date and it'll show the high/low/average for temperature, dew point, humidity, etc.

Jeff,
You may also have a look at this skin : https://github.com/Daveiano/weewx-wdc
There is a demo here : https://www.weewx-hbt.de/
WIth this skin, you can enable the daily statistics - see the "Statistics" menu -  where you can see the data, charts and tables for each day.   WIth the daily statistics enabled, the very first run of the skin could take quite a long time, depending on the extent of your historical data, since the skin will have to generate all the daily, monthly and yearly pages.
