Custome Website Wind tags
Posted: Mon 19 Jan 2009 2:57 pm
Firstly a big hi to Steve and everyone else on here, I stumbled on Cumulus through google searching for an alternative to that rubbish Heavy Weather software shipped with the La Crosse WS-2307, I installed Cumulus and within a couple of hours had it communicating with a developing weather station database called weathercast which in turn communicates with our #weather IRC bot (I'm part of a national organisation of Aussie stormchasers so we are majorly into running our own stations and weather info for everyone to make use of).
Anyhow I also have my own local weather site to run things on, I choose to not run the realtime as the people who look at my site don't need the data quite that fast so 10 minute updates are more than fine and I have my data saved and displayed here at home in real time for my own purposes anyways.
Now every single data feed works fine but is there a tag or script to have it process and generate a wind direction in compass heading words e.g ENE or NE etc that can be used for this site or does anyone know of a script I can load to convert the bearing values to words?
Personally I can translate direction bearings no worries because I'm a stormchaser and used to working with numbers but a lot of my site recipients are just general public so am just finding out if I can make something that is friendlier for them to read.
Well hope everyone has a great day/evening
Stephen
