Cloud height [actual_thb0_cloudheight_m] SOLVED

[gm4jjj]

I am getting a different value for [actual_thb0_cloudheight_m] and the cloud height reported by WDL (in Clientraw.txt).

Example: [actual_thb0_cloudheight_m] = 1838m v WDL = 195m

Which is correct and why are they different?

The cloudheight will be calculated with this formula (approx.):
(temperature - dewpoint) * 125 = cloudheight (in m).

So calculate with your temperature and dewpoint and decide which value is correct.

Is that in degrees C or F?

Assuming it is C as you have height in m

Worked example-

With Temp -1.0 Dp = -2.9 :

Calculated is approx 237m

The WDL figure in the cleintraw.txt file (calculated by METEOHUB not WD) is 232m

The figure calculated by METEOHUB [actual_thb0_cloudheight_m] is 1700m - something seriously wrong there!

EDIT I may be using the wrong thing - Doh, I am using inside temp sensor for Meteohub ! Let me find the outside temp sensor and try again!

Yes! - I should have used [actual_th0_cloudheight_m]
