rainfall error

[tumutbound]

It's been raining pretty well continuously for the last 3 hours or so.
Up until midnight, CumulusMX reported 1.2mm. But since midnight, zero rain has been reported. All other readings seem correct.
No errors reported.
(Several millimetres of rain are shown on the console. Date and time are not set correctly so don't have an accurate figure but around 4 mm)
Running 3007


EDIT: requested files added.

Please attach the mxdiags file and today.ini.

Sorry, I didn't see that you had edited your post to attach the files. Unless you post a reply, I have no way of knowing that you've done that, unless I constantly re-read all the posts to see if they have changed. I happened to check your post as I was making a list of possible outstanding issues.

According to the files, your station hadn't recorded any rain between midnight and 01:18 at the end of the files. The rain counter was 429.9 at midnight, and still 429.9 at 01:18. If the clock on the console is wrong, then perhaps the rain it was showing was not actually for the period after midnight. The last time it recorded any rain currently was at about 7pm on the 13th.

Sorry about that, the perils of posting early in the morning.

Because the rain indications stopped at midnight, I assumed it was software or at least computer related. It just seems that my rain gauge just decided midnight was a good time to die.
I've fitted a spare rain gauge and rain is once again being recorded.


EDIT: Checking weatherstations nearby shows that there has been ~30mm of rain today, perhaps my rain-gauge just couldn't keep up . A good opportunity for me to learn how to update rain totals in Cumulus.
