Observations

Observations

Observations is the stored-data view for the selected station. It can show daily, monthly, and yearly summaries, or the full observation table for row-level inspection.

Change the view

Use Day, Month, Year, and All to switch between summary levels and the full observation table.

On iPhone and iPad, the mode control appears in the Observations interface. On macOS, the same mode can be changed from the toolbar or from View > Show Observations.

Inspect stored data

Summary rows show longer periods without listing every stored record. Use All to inspect individual observations directly.

Depending on the provider, station model, and installed sensors, the tables can include the same supported metric groups used across the app: temperature and humidity, including dew point and Vapor Pressure Deficit; rain and evapotranspiration; wind; pressure; sun and sky; air-quality and indoor metrics; and soil or plant metrics such as soil moisture, soil temperature, soil salinity, water potential, and leaf wetness.

Unit changes in Settings update the table display, but stored values do not change.

Observations table

On macOS, the Observations table supports common table actions for review and export:

  • Click a column header to sort by that column.
  • Use the column header menu to show or hide metric columns. Observed At always stays visible.
  • Drag column headers to reorder them, and drag column dividers to resize them.
  • Select one or more rows, then choose Edit > Copy to copy the current rows as CSV. Paste the result into another app.
  • Double-click a row to open the selected observation in more detail.
  • In day, month, and year summary tables, right-click a row and choose View Charts for … to open the matching historical charts.

For the full macOS shortcut list, see Keyboard Shortcuts.

When data looks incomplete

Summaries are calculated by Weather Fusion when downloading historical data from the provider.

  • If summaries look out of sync or are missing data after imports or backfills, run Recalculate Summaries.
  • If expected rows or periods are missing, use Download observations from Data Management.
