Last year rain rate

Post by hqrgro »

Hello to all
:)

I would like to add in my website
the comparisation from the total amount of last year rainfall
to the current total year rainfall.

I have the webtag <#ryear> "total rainfall so far this year"
but I have not found any webtag that could show total rainfall for the last year.

Some one do you know is this webtag is available?

Thanks
Giorgio

Cumulus lacks web tags for any form of 'historic' data, other than "yesterday" and the high and low records, simply because it does not store that kind of information anywhere in a form which is quickly accessible.

Hi Giorgio

There is no webtag for rainfall last year. A full list of tags are on the Wiki....http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Webtag, but I am sure you have already seen that.

You could calculate the rainfall yourself for last year by summing the figures in the dayfile.txt file for last year. As the figure will not change you can hard code it into your website (remembering to change it next year).

Indeed - or by getting Cumulus to do it for you, using View | This Year.
