Can you give an example of where you might source this data, the data range and the engineering units?

I have updated the xAP Weather Schema on the wiki
http://www.xapautomation.org/index.php?title=xAP_Weather_Schema#Updated_Weather_Schema_-_Weather.data
with some minor edits from the post above...
I seem to be able to get in to the wiki now, don't pretend to understand what has happened there.
An update to the Weather Schema will be made in the next couple of days

It would appear that I no longer have access to the wiki, so I can progress this no further

For anyone interested, at the moment (feb 2012) Clas Ohlson have the WH1080 USB Wireless Weather Station on special at £59.00, in store only purchase and when I was in there in passing this week they...
Draft Weather Schema
As descibed in the protocol definition, the message body will be preceded by a header, eg
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF400200
class=weather.data
source=vendor.weather
}
The intent was simply to make the existing schema work properly by formalising the existing schema in actual use. Through this useful discussion we have added a number of useful keys and corrected...
I was looking at the METAR weather reports associated with aviation and airports and I can see that it reports visibility in meters even in the UK
So assuming we report in both SI and imperial...
I dont propose creating a weather.report.2, but replacing the existing weather.report with an enhanced one, correcting the mistakes of the published schema, and of the defacto schema that is actualy...
Thinking about the 'extra' keys, they don't really make a great deal of sense in this context and I agree would be better handled by BSC or TSC schema messages. Several of the rerences I found to...
Looking at extensions to current implementations of the weather.report schema, and do we keep them for version 2?....

So following the existing conventions
AirPressureP=(Air pressure in hPa)

Anyone else want to chip in?
or comment about the airpressure issue pete has raised

Windchill is certainly available inside Weather Display
and could be defined in the schema as follows:-
WindchillC=(Windchill Temperature in centigrade)

WindchillF=(Windchill...
Which brings us to

UTC=(Time of report in hh:mm format using utc time zone)

Rain:-
On the period for reporting, I have always understood that rainfall is reset at midnight
Clearly you are proposing that there be two 'rains'
one for metric say rainSI, eng units would...
KH
I guess you are referring to the fact that the rain= key does not specify the units
We already have at least two implentations which just report rain=

I had thought that by publishing some examples of the current implementations, that have been in use for some time that we had demonstrated a consensus

To be clear,
There is no specification to adhere to for the Weather.Report schema
There is a description of the schema, much of which is optional
The data in the schema should be based on...
Hi Pete
A couple of things to note about the Weather Schema:-
It is not a xAPWeather Schema, ie it is not a formal core xAP Schema with a specification like for instance xAPBSC
If you look...
