Alternative weather data sources #33

Open squaregoldfish opened 8 years ago

The upload XML currently assumes that data comes from WorldWeatherOnline. Allow cameras to get observations from other sources, e.g. a local weather station.

We'll need a Weather Source field so we know where the observations came from, both in the upload XML and the database.

We also need some way to convert the local observations into the upload XML.

Should we allow partial details, then fill in the rest from WorldWeatherOnline? The data source flag would need to apply to the individual observation types in that instance.
