Hi all
A quick question, in the WeatherData theres a column TimeStamp for each recorded event, but in mine the value seem to be two hour off, and I can't figure out why.
If I check current_time in the db, it's correct. Time on the SkyWeatherPi is also correct, so why is this value off?

The time is stored in UTC
Is your time zone + or - 2hrs from UTC?

Yes, I'm +2h, So, stored as UTC not local.
Is there any way to change this, and more importantly, should this be changed?
A client/consumer could of course always compensate for this.
And on that subject - I think windspeed is also stored as mph? Can be changed to metric?

SkyWeather is storing local time. The database converts it to UTC. I believe there is a way of configuring the database to use local time.
SkyWeather stores the wind speed as MPH. You would have to modify SkyWeather to convert the MPH to metric before it stores the value in the database.

So - degrees Celcius are stored in Metric, and Windspeed in Imperial Format? That is wrong.
I thought the data was stored as below:
as3935LightningCount: Counter
as3935LastInterrupt:
as3935LastDistance:
as3935LastStatus:
currentWindSpeed: Kph
currentWindGust: Kph
currentWindDirection: °
currentWindDirectionVoltage: ?
totalRain: mm
bmp180Temperature: °C
bmp180Pressure: hPa / milli bars
bmp180Altitude: m
bmp180SeaLevel: hPa / milli bars
outsideTemperature: °C
outsideHumidity: %
insideTemperature: °C
insideHumidity: %
AQI: µg/m³

You are Correct. The module util.py does the conversion Not sure why I didn't see that before.

No sword. Smurphy fell on his own sword. A close (20m) lightning strike just killed his station!
