Is there a best practice for getting station records i.e. highest recorded wing gust, hi/low temp, etc?

Are folks still logging all their data to google sheets through ifttt? If so, is there a way around the 2000 line limit?

Is there a way to get this data from Wunderground?

Hi @jrodricks,  
I guess you have seen these discussions, but just in case you missed them:

Try here: [New Tempest owner: on how to extract data - #15 by scott.reno](https://community.tempest.earth/t/new-tempest-owner-on-how-to-extract-data/5987/15)

I read of one person using google sheets to create a text file of history as a backup.  
There are some discussions regarding the 2000 line limit but I do not recall anyone providing an actual solution to how they have got around it. Some discussion here:

> Thanks to the @WFmarketing for the IFTTT Smart Weather applet. clap clap I got this setup up with ease and it’s really cool seeing the data stream in every minute. Two questions concerning the Rain data or Column I in the Google Spreadsheet. It shows 0in right now but my SKY has measured 0.14in today. Is Column I showing the Rain IN/HR instead of the actual Rain (Today) measured by SKY? If so, could it be changed to log the Rain (Today) instead of Rain IN/HR?

And of course there are several other options such as installing weewx.  
I hope this might be of some help  
cheers Ian 🙂
