I have a Davis VP2 wireless with solar and UV sensors. Everything is working just fine. My question is to do with the solar percentage thresholds and their associated descriptions. I read the wiki article here http://weather-watch.com/wiki/index.php/Solar_Sensor_Setup. Is this the “official” standard that we should all be sticking to for consistency in data? Currently I’m using the following percentages and descriptions:
75% Sunny
45% Mostly Sunny
25% Mostly Cloudy
6% Cloudy
<2% Night Time
Being a “glass half full” rather than a “glass half empty” sort of a guy 
I’m opting to use “mostly sunny”, rather than the wiki-suggested “partly cloudy” description for >45%. My thresholds are also quite different to the wiki (I can’t recall why I opted for these particular thresholds). However, as these values and descriptions impact on which weather icon (and in my case my site’s banner image) is displayed, I figure it’s reasonably important that the WD community uses consistent percentages and descriptions.
Thoughts anyone?
Simon
