reading 200degF when -10degF

Post by lanwickum »

My temp dropped below zero here and suddenly it starting reading very high. Wondering of there is a bug or setting I don't about. I have only had this station for maybe 2 weeks. wunderground station is kmtshelb7 if anyone wants to look at data.
The accrual temps in title are not correct, but close. Appears that on nov 28th when temp dropped to a negative it started reading the approximately 200degF.
Thank you

Are you experiencing this...
a) on the vantage console?
b) on a Meteohub/Meteobridge connected via a Davis data logger to a console or envoy?
c) by using Meteostick with Meteohub/Meteobridge?

I have no console. Only airbridge with meteostick? I bought through ambient weather. the temp just went into positive today and is reading correct again. Something must have a calculation error? My live data, when connected to meteobridge, says same as weather underground.

203degF is actually -1degF. temps drops properly from 203 as temps drop.

This looks like a computation error. As I don't have a chance to go into minus degrees Fahrenheit
here in northern Germany (although I feel it is uncomfortable cold in the winter), it would be great if
you could give me access to your Meteobridge as explained here:

Hello, my Davis vantage2 also will read about 100 degrees positive for each degree below zero the temp drops. I do have a console and the temp on the console reads ok. The weather underground folks verified that the data I was sending them was incorrect data an they have removed me from the site until the problem is fixed. Can you help

just reboot your Meteobridge and be fine. This bug was solved a week ago.
