MetOffice WOW Rain Rate always empty

[yriou]

Hi,

While I can see the Rain rate in Cumulus MX (b3196) it never shows on my site on MetOffice WOW - I checked the MXDiag and indeed the rainin and dailyrainin values sent are 0.00:

Code: Select all

2022-07-30 02:50:00.324 WOW URL = http://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/automaticreading?siteid=*****&siteAuthenticationKey=******&dateutc=2022-07-30+01%3A50%3A00&winddir=297&windspeedmph=0.6&windgustmph=1.2&humidity=93&tempf=62.6&rainin=0.00&dailyrainin=0.00&baromin=29.943&dewptf=60.8&UV=3.0&softwaretype=Cumulus%20v3.19.3&action=updateraw

I know from the CMX Reports that the rate at that time was 1.02mm/h so I cant explain why its not sending those value?

The rainfall rate on WoW is calculated by WoW from the rainfall in last hour values CMX uploads.

The "rainin" value is the rain in the last hour, and "dailyrainin" is the total since midnight. I don't suppose you know what the rain in last hour figure was when you grabbed that bit of logfile?

I checked my station and it is reporting rainfall OK.

What is your WoW station id?
