Rain duration and rate last hour

Archive Archived Weather Display Problems

Rain duration is showing 105 minutes even though it hasn’t rained for the last 30 minutes.

Shouldn’t “Rain duration” be last recording - first recording ?

Also…

(Edited: Disregard rain rate question. It appears I should be using %currentrainrate% and not %maxrain/minlasthour%.)

after 60 minutes of no rain, it then sets to zero :wink:

I don’t suppose you’d consider lowering that to say 15 minutes? Because now if it rains for 5 minutes, the duration will say 60 minutes.

one of the problems is light rain…and rain gauges with only 1mm per tip…and it might be only 1mm every 30 minutes…

i could make it user adjustable

Hi,
Yes, make it! In Vp one tip is 0,28mm not 1mm.
Could you make same time “user adjustable” rain rate calculation.
I think that mm/hr is more efective as mm/min. When I set “Use VP rain rate” then WDL calculate rainrate wrong. (it displays e.g. 12,5mm/min when raining 12,5mm/hr!)

i think i have the use vp rain rate correct
in the latest version

mm/hr
humm, but often heavy rain is only short duration,and often does not last more than 10 minutes, never mind 1 hour (for real heavy rian), so i think , personaly, mm/min is better (just *60 to get mm/hr, and WD shows that on the main screen)

I meaning that mm/hr is more informative as mm/min.
When raining; 6.0, 5.9, 4.5, 3.2… mm/hr WD displays 0.1mm/min all the time. Is big diffrence if rain rate is 6.0 or 2.0mm/hr
Second thing is all time records window. My highest rainrate is now 75.4mm/min in WD, real value is 75.4mm/hr!
Here in Finland car speed is 100km/h not 1666m/min or 27m/sec :wink:
