Rain this year value wrong ** solved **
Posted: Thu 11 Mar 2021 10:10 pm
The rain this year value shown at the "Now" page is 310.4 mm - which is 23.4 mm more than it really was.
The rain counter (Edit) and the entries in the day file say 287.0 (which is the correct value).
At the console (WH2650/GW1000) CumulusMX reads from the rain totals are 287.0.
Where does the program get the additional 23.4 mm from ?
The only observation in this context is that the switch over of the rain year happened on 01.01.2021 01:00 CET (=AM in 12h notation).
There it had collected another 0.3 mm in addition to the correct 757.0 mm 31.12.2020 23:59 - and switched the counter to 0.0 mm
If there were a difference of 0.3 mm I could understand, but where does the 23.4 mm more come from.
Paging through the Jan21log.txt, Feb21log.txt and Mar21log.,txt files shows the correct summary value at the end of the month
(in the Mar21 file 11-Mar).
Any advice appreciated.
