We like to over indulge our weather here. BUT we do have crazy things here. On June 29th-High of 97 and feels like 110. Today. July 1. It is currently 66 and a breezy North wind.
Going to a restaurant tonight and may have to sit inside.
Midwesterners do adjust to temp changes very fast.
Yerren, can you put the acceptable code into your download from the Weather-Display page when you get it settled? I’m looking forward to using it, and thanks for this newest release. I know the details can drive a guy crazy!

The solution is to have the option to autoswap windchill and heat index as the original WDL does. In any case windchill is not calculated when the temp is as high as 66F.
My knowledge on the actual calculation of some of these things is a bit sketchy. Do you (or anyone… Brian?) know how the origional WDL decides when to switch between heat index and wind chill? Would be nice to have a good way of determining this, rather than figuring out my own system, especially if a good method already exists!
WD uses the NOAA standard
the temperature needs to be below 10C for windchill to come into effect
so do the switch when the temperature is below that
as for heat index, I would use >=18C as the temperature cut off
@Marian - that instrument is displaying % of maximum solar, which is zero, not W/m2, which is not zero. As I recall changing to display W/m2 has been discussed before but I don’t recall the outcome.
There are some strange issues with this and I believe the meteohub upload software. Something about meteohub uploading zero values as “-” instead of “0”.
I have a vague idea about how I can try and fix it, but I can’t promise it’ll be done awfully soon, sorry!
