Rolling 24 hour rainfall

Post by flort »

Hi,

In the daily logs we capture Rainfall Total, High Hourly Rain, and High Rainfall Rate and record it in dayfile.txt and then have webtags for the records associated with them but for Rolling 24 Hour Rainfall we only have the r24hour webtag and don't capture these records anywhere.

I recently upgraded my weather station to a Davis Vantage Vue and notice in Weatherlink.com they have this metric in the month summary page. We had a recent rain event which highlighted how useful this metric might be. Rainfall over 3 days was 227mm, 304mm, and 106mm but if I calculate rolling 24 hour we reached 415mm. It gives a different perspective to the rainfall event and I thought others might see benefit in this being recorded.

Regards,
Trevor
