Pressure
<#press> The sea level pressure
<#presstrendval> The average rate of pressure change over the last three hours. Trend = (pressure now - pressure 3hrs ago) / 3
<#presstrendsigned> A signed string value of pressure trends
<#presstrend> The pressure trend in words - values can be set in the 'strings.ini' file
<#presstrendenglish> A single word description for the pressure trend - Rising/Falling/Steady (for use by HTML, javascript etc, values can't be changed). From version 1.8.8 1st December 2009
<#PressChangeLast3Hours> Available from version 3.11.1; Total Pressure Change since 3 hours ago
<#altimeterpressure> Altimeter pressure. Pressure corrected to sea level using the station's altitude only. Same as sea-level pressure for non-Davis stations.
<#stationpressure> Station pressure (the absolute pressure reading)
Wind
<#wlatest> Current wind speed reading from console. Corresponds to 'latest' on the Cumulus main screen.
<#bearing> Current wind bearing in degrees
<#currentwdir> Current wind bearing as a compass point - e.g. ESE
<#wspeed> The 10-minute average, if you have Cumulus set to calculate a 10-minute average. Otherwise, it's the latest 'wind' value from the console (i.e. the current speed as determined by the station). Corresponds to 'average' on the Cumulus main screen.
<#avgbearing> Average wind bearing in degrees over last configured interval minutes. Range 1-360, 0=Calm.
This is calculated by taking the wind direction and speed for the last 10 minutes (or other interval as configured), calculates the sums of the North/South and East/West vector components, divides the E/W component sum by the N/S component sum, and takes the arctan.
<#wdir> Average wind bearing over last 10 minutes as a compass point - e.g. ESE
<#wgust> The highest wind reading in the last 10 minutes. Corresponds to 'gust' on the Cumulus main screen.
<#WindSampleCount> The number of wind samples making up the wind rose (etc) data (up to 3600)
<#wdirdata> Comma separated list of recent wind bearing readings (every x seconds, up to 3600 entries). This is a circular buffer; to find the most recent value use <#nextwindindex>. Reading interval x varies by station type:
Oregon:x=12 seconds (see Wind Rose: v1.7.11) so 12 hours worth in full array
Davis:x=2 or 3 seconds (see Wind Rose: v1.7.11) so 2.5 hours worth in full array
Fine Offset:Cumulus 1 reads the wind data every minute (although station transmits wind data every 40 seconds), so 60 hours worth in full array
Davis WLL:x=2.5 seconds (see Wind Rose time frame) so 2.5 hours worth in full array.
<#wspddata> Comma separated list of recent individual (non-averaged) wind speed (correspond to 'latest' on the Cumulus main screen) readings (every x seconds, up to 3600 entries). This is a circular buffer; to find the most recent value use nextwindindex tag. Reading interval x varies by station type (see above).
<#nextwindindex> The index of the entries in <#wdirdata> and <#wspddata> that Cumulus is going to use next - i.e. the latest entry used is one less than this; but don't forget to allow for the wrap around!
<#WindRoseData> A comma-separated list of the wind 'totals' used to draw the wind rose (8 or 16 values)
<#WindRosePoints> The number of items in <#WindRoseData> (i.e. 8 or 16)
<#beaufort> The current wind speed on the Beaufort scale (e.g. F8)
<#beaufortnumber> The current wind speed on the Beaufort scale, without a leading “F”, e.g. “6”
<#beaudesc> The current wind speed Beaufort description (e.g. “Gale”)
<#BearingRangeFrom> The 'lowest' clockwise bearing in the last 10 minutes
<#BearingRangeTo> The 'highest' clockwise bearing in the last 10 minutes
<#BearingRangeFrom10> The 'lowest' clockwise bearing in the last 10 minutes, rounded down to nearest 10 degrees
<#BearingRangeTo10> The 'highest' clockwise bearing in the last 10 minutes, rounded down to nearest 10 degrees
Miscellaneous
<#cloudbase> Calculated cloud base
<#cloudbasevalue> Current calculated cloud base without units
<#UV> Current UV index. Requires your station to have a UV sensor.
<#SolarRad> Current solar radiation. Requires your station to have a solar sensor.
<#Light> Current Current light level in Lux. Requires your station to have a solar sensor. Only applies to Fine Offset stations.
<#forecast> The current forecast
<#forecastenc> The same as <#forecast> but with all reserved HTML characters, and those above character code 159, encoded as HTML entities
<#forecastJsEnc> Available from version 3.11.0; The current forecast encoded for JavaScript
<#forecastnumber> The number relating to the current forecast entry in the strings.ini file. If your station is not providing it's own forecast and Cumulus is not calculating one then 0 (zero) is returned. Note: two negative numbers can be returned by Cumulus: -1 (neg 1) = Exceptional Fine, -26 (neg 26) = Exceptional Bad
<#cumulusforecast> Always gives Cumulus (Zambretti) forecast, even if the <#forecast> tag provides a station forecast
<#cumulusforecastenc> The same as <#cumulusforecast> but with all reserved HTML characters, and those above character code 159, encoded as HTML entities
<#cumulusforecastJsEnc> Available from version 3.11.0; The current Cumulus (Zambretti) forecast encoded for JavaScript
<#wsforecast> Always gives station forecast (if available)
<#wsforecastenc> The same as <#wsforecast> but with all reserved HTML characters, and those above character code 159, encoded as HTML entities
<#wsforecastJsEnc> Available from version 3.11.0; The current station forecast encoded for JavaScript
<#currcond>Represents the value entered on the screen within Cumulus for the Current Weather condition, or the value as held in the currentconditions.txt file. Any reserved HTML characters are encoded as HTML entities
<#currcondenc> The same as <#currcond> but also has all characters above (decimal base) code 159 encoded as HTML entities for example this would encode any use of symbol for degree.
<#currcondJsEnc> Available from version 3.11.0; The current conditions encoded for JavaScript
