Sharing some examples of the excellent data visualizations Pierre's WordPress plugin can do...
Visit: http://www.kenclifton.com/wordpress/about/weather-conditions/
In case the page does not come up, a screenshot is attached.
All information is updated every two minutes via a Python script running on the Web server that pulls local data from the Davis 6100 WeatherLinkLive box -- nothing at all is pulled down from the Internet. The Python script parses the JSON data from the 6100 and builds a realtime.txt file that is read by the Weather Station plugin. The WeatherLinkLive local API is documented at https://github.com/weatherlink/weatherlink-live-local-api
P.S. Forgot to add that I am using Bootstrap.css to make the whole page mobile device responsive. I was pleased that the data visualizations are also mobile-device responsive (I did not do anything to enable that on Pierre's visualizations).

Hi Ken,
Nice website! I really like the small semi-circle dials with the min/max indicators on the left!

Hi Gerhard!
Thank you for the kind words. I missed seeing your site at: https://weeropdeveluwe.nl somehow. It looks like I went down many of the topics that you implemented so nicely on your site. I found your site after reading your post here.
You have an excellent approach using two data files for input ! I had not even considered using two files. I chose the realtime.txt format because it appears to pass the most information, but it would be very easy to have my Python script output another file :). Thank you for that idea!
I am so grateful to your country and Dr. Gerrit Melles there. Without his work I would not have eyesight to make a Web site. Thank you!

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the compliments.
Yes, I added the different exportfiles (realtime.txt and Clientraw.txt) both, because in each of the file there is data that is not present in the other. For instance I use a thermometer at grass-level. This data is included in the Clientraw, but not in the Realtime file. So this makes it 'best of both worlds' in a way.
I am really very pleased with the WeatherStation plugin. For a large part this has to do with the developer, Pierre. Last year I asked if there could be some implementation of indexes that are use often, and they were implemented in the next update. I never had any developer react so quick and effective!
I did not know about dr Melles yet. It is great to hear about him from someone in a totally different part of the world! As a photographer I can only imagine how devastating loss of eyesight would be. So it is really great he was able to help you!
Kind regards,
