Good Day,

My "Pressure" in WU is high. I ran sudo weewx and check the output. I did see that "barometer" is high vs local station @ 29.93 but "pressure" is at 29.68 and that is correct vs local stations.

It seems WU uses barometer instead of pressure. To correct this should I do a barometer = barometer - .22? Or can those values be swapped in weewx?

Thank you!

Bill

Yes, I did that was the second place I looked. I guess scroll mouse went to fast. Thank you for the link I will parse and post any questions.

Thank you, Charlie!
