Issues with AppTemp In Records about weewx-belchertown

[poblabs]

Have you extended the database to allow and calculate apparent temperature? Check this part of the readme under show_apptemp and you'll see the link on how to extend the database.

Apparent temperature is not a default observation from weewx, so I am thinking you haven't enabled it.

In mqtt broker i do see that apptenp has a value. So I assumed the database would also have it. Is that not valid?

Do you have appTemp in your archive database?

[KasturiNagarWeather]

You are right, I dont seem to have it. The steps to back calculate for past data and include look quite complex. I am disabling it for now.

Also since appTemp includes wind speed and my wind speed is real time (every 2 seconds), the appTemp keeps fluctuation erratically.

[poblabs]

Yeah that's because it gets calculated every time the wind blows. This is standard practice since the apparent temperature can change between wind gusts (sometimes you may feel colder 1 minute than the next minute).

I read that but it seems a little involved. No time. Will pursue later.
