wunderground_

Name

wunderground - Plugin to monitor weather stations through Weather Underground

The precipitation rate is recalculated from the daily cumulative sum precipTotal, as a DERIVE value, rather than using the immediate precipRate as a GAUGE. This allows to have more correct aggregates for the weekly/monstly/yearly graphs, particularly in case of missing values.

However, to work around the limitation that DERIVE only supports integers, the decimal point is also shifted two places right (*100) from the reported value, so even small values can be represented. The value is then rescaled to cancel this shift (/100), and expressed per hour rather than second (*3600), as it is the usual unit for precipitation.

Configuration

    [wunderground]
    env.api_key 6532d6454b8aa370768e63d6ba5a832e # this is the default; it seems to be what the website uses
    env.station_id KCASANFR1708
    env.units metric                # optional, this is the default
    env.base_url                    # optional, default to https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current
    env.connect_timeout 1           # optional, amount to wait for requests, in seconds
    env.alerts yes                  # optional, controls whether to report alerts, enabled by default

Alternatively, the station_id can be encoded in the name of the symlink as wunderground_STATIONID (e.g., wundergound_KCASANFR1708). This allows to monitor multiple stations at once. The configuration can then omit the station_id (it will be ignored if present), and only one section can be used for all instances of the plugin.

wunderground - Plugin to monitor weather stations through Weather Underground

The precipitation rate is recalculated from the daily cumulative sum
precipTotal, as a DERIVE value, rather than using the immediate precipRate as a
GAUGE. This allows to have more correct aggregates for the
weekly/monstly/yearly graphs, particularly in case of missing values.

However, to work around the limitation that DERIVE only supports integers, the
decimal point is also shifted two places right (*100) from the reported value,
so even small values can be represented. The value is then rescaled to cancel
this shift (/100), and expressed per hour rather than second (*3600), as it is
the usual unit for precipitation.

dewpt.info Temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor. When cooled further, the airborne water vapor will condense to form liquid water (dew). When air cools to its dew point through contact with a surface that is colder than the air, water will condense on the surface. When the temperature is below the freezing point of water, the dew point is called the frost point, as frost is formed rather than dew.

windChill.label Wind chill
windChill.info Represent the lowering of body temperature due to the passing-flow of lower-temperature air.  Wind chill numbers are always lower than the air temperature for values where the formula is valid. When the apparent temperature is higher than the air temperature, the heat index is used instead.
