[wxqc] Dewpoint too high?

[Philip Gladstone]

Steve,

Your red X is mostly due to a period about three weeks ago. If you 
change the analysis period to the last two weeks, then you get a green 
check.

Interestingly, your closest cwop neighbor -- C7069 has the wrong 
elevation configured -- a feet versus meters problem. This certainly 
will not help with your analysis values!

Calibrating humidity is always tricky -- the real way is to get a sling 
psychrometer (the wet bulb/dry bulb thermometer pair) and use that. I 
got one from Ebay for around $20.
