Steve as it has rained today I have checked the Last Rainfall and it is indeed now working in MXversion 3041.

The only parameter that seems to be questionable is the Rainfall Rate which always displays 0.0mm/hr.

Does this need a similar modification due to the Instromet way of rainfall measurement?

many thanks

Dave

For stations that don't supply a rain rate, Cumulus has to calculate it - it uses a very simple calculation using the amount of rainfall in the previous five minutes. I've forgotten to set the flag that indicates that it needs to do this for Instromet stations - I'll fix it in the next build.
