Comparison data, today and the same date last year

[Rong]

Hi Jacques

Have you or has anyone else developed a data comparison page where you can see the weather information for the same day a year ago? I've had a search on the forum but didn't find anything but I'm sure that I've seen a weather site with a comparison page on it.

Hi Ron,

That is a pretty good one!

Cumulus is able to take today date to compare it to yesterday's data
but that is a good idea for a new feature! Since it is something that can't
be added to the template, I recommend you to send it to Cumulus
enhancement request section in Cumulus forum!

See forum at: http://sandaysoft.com/forum/tracker.php?p=1

Give us feedbacks about it!

Regards,
Jacques

There has been a similar request on the Cumulus site for rainfall so I'm hoping Steve will add web tags for all data.

Does it mean you want to compare all settings with the information from e.g 2011?

What about the NOAA reports??
Do you want the information side-by-side since I've an [Annual Weather Data Summary] in my [Weather History] section, but of course it only shows 2012 data since I started May 7 of this year.
Next year it should be easy to switch between 2012 and 2013 to see a comparison between the same dates..??

Cheers,

Hi Arthur
What I would like to be able to show is a comparison between todays data (highs and lows) and the corresponding data for the same date last year. Obviously this could be expanded to show month by month comparisons as well.
I've been running my weather station for 3 years now so have got a mass of data and it's something that quite a few people have asked me about.

Hi Ron,

A solution could be to use MySql database to store all weather data from your station
and by that point all is possible if you know a bit SQL language! There are some scripts
to help you create and transfer Cumulus to SQL data.

Hi Jacques

Using a web MySQL DB sounds like a good plan, I'll start looking into it.
