Funny one in annual rainfall summary!

Post by dc1500 »

Whilst viewing and storing my annual stats I noticed that in the <view this year> option summary I got for 2016:-
Rain days 156
Dry days 212

.... which adds up to 368, not the expected leap year total of 366.
I looked back and both 2015 and 2014 added up to 366 but before that they did add up to 365.

Has been running continuously since 2008 but will have had Cumulus updates to current version.
Any ideas?

You probably have extra (spurious) entries in dayfile.txt for some reason.

Seems most likely, I'll have a look. Checked with another user and they have 367 ! Could be same reason of course.

Yep. Bit of a tedious search but 21st and 22nd May duplicated for some reason. Sorted.
Thanks Steve
