What could be the problem?

Please post the full MXdiags log file, thanks.

Attached.

It appears that your rain counter reset to zero between 23:59:00 and 00:00:00.834 (when the midnight rain value was reset).
But this would normally trigger a warning message, and only on the second packet with a reset value would it actually reset.

The day rollover processing has not altered any of the rain counts at this point, so at the moment I cannot see your situation could happen.

At this point I edit the dayfile, setting to 1 the "Total rainfall" on 4/7/20 ?

Yes, with Cumulus stopped of course.

You will also need to edit the month.ini and year.ini files to amend their totals as well.

Ok, thanks.
