Weatherlink happily does monthly & annual NOAA reports.


Yes, indeed - as I mentioned above. The problem is that most users
interested in reports (which admittedly tends to be a minority of WL
users overall) find the WL NOAA reports very limited and requests for
more parameters and more detail are common.

The feature WL needs is much more flexibility in graph image generation,
the ability to put several parameters on a single graph for upload. The
ability to select the content of text reports would be nice too.


There's absolutely no doubt that no ideal Davis-compatible package
exists, whether you're looking at WL or any one of the other
contenders. I guess every current WL user has their own wishlist of
features they would like to see enhanced and yes multiple datasets on
a single plot would score quite highly I'm sure. (Though offering
genuine flexibility in plotting arbitrary multiple parameters from
different classes, eg temp, wind speed and rainfall on a single plot,
becomes increasingly difficult to program cleanly and with
ease-of-use). But for serious weather watchers it tends to be the WL
reporting facility that is most often criticised IME.
