DATTLE / Field collection
Weather Journal
Build a weather record for a place you visit regularly. One entry per observation keeps temperature, conditions, pressure, and instrument context together.
Make it your own
On the web, sign in and choose New Dattle → Template. Web Dattles use Shared access; you can start with just yourself and invite people later. For a Private Dattle stored on your device, use the mobile app.
Start from the template
In New Dattle, choose Template and search for Weather Journal, or browse Field collection. Open its preview, choose Use template, and review the name and fields before saving. The suggested name is Weather Journal.
Capture your first entry
Select the observation location, enter temperature in Celsius, and choose conditions. Record the pressure or instrument reading with its unit and add context in Notes.
Review and keep it useful
Compare observations taken at a similar place and time. Read instrument and location notes before interpreting a change in temperature or pressure.
