If you select the automatic option, weather entries are added automatically to daily reports. Requests for weather information are made every hour from the start time to the end time and up to the project end date. The exact times and intervals of the entries depend on the information that's available from the weather station.

The entries are added to the relevant daily report based on the local time from the selected weather station. If the daily report doesn't exist yet, it's added automatically. Required fields are ignored until a user edits the daily report.
