Does anyone else use Weatherlink to monitor the weather. I have been using it a year now and it is awful as far as I am concerned.
I cant even see what the previous months rainfall was!?

Im using a Davis vantage Pro2 weather station which seems ok but the software is truly pants. Can I run other software with this station or do I need to start again.

If there is no other software that I can run with it its going free if anybody can put up with it

My vantage Pro 2 records to the same software that the previous Vantage station recorded to. It is called WeatherLink.
I have it recording hourly which can be viewed, it also records details on a daily basis which can be viewed in a monthly chart.
I have yearly rainfall records also.

I'm with you, @Against_the_grain - the console itself is ok, but the software is the biggest pile of unreliable monkeynuts I've ever used (and that includes the most unintuitive invention since time began - Gatekeeper!)

Its shocking, particularly given its price.

I used to use WeatherLink, but as you say the data is not that easy to access. You should be able to export it into Excel, and then it becomes much more easy to handle. I used to use a 3rd party addon to help manage the data, but it is no longer available
