To minimise rounding error, you need to:
#First convert each old observation into whatever precision [[Supported_Devices| your weather station]] works in <span style="color:#009000"> (e.g. a Fine Offset rainfall bucket is 0.3mm as per illustration above,  its pressure measurement is in dPa (integer decaPascal), wind speed in tenths of metres/second and temperature in tenths of degrees Celsius; the full details are given in the memory map referenced from [[Fineoffset_Memory_Map]] Wiki page)</span>. You probably have set its console display to different units, but those units are irrelevent.
