Mark, I record in inches so below is a sample of the file I've created. Would you prefer inches, millimetres or both? Date format okay?

date,rainfall,rainfall_mm
01/01/2023,0.55,13.97
02/01/2023,0.02,0.51
03/01/2023,0.35,8.89
04/01/2023,0.03,0.76
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

I've compared my December rainfall (149mm) to a station in Handforth (IWILMS14) which has a Davis VP2 and his is 145.8mm.

He bought his VP2 in early March 2022 ans his rainfall totals with a spoon mechanism is very close to mine.
Cheers,

Hi Mark,

Happy New Year to you. :D Here's my rainfall data as requested. I added an extra column for rainfall in mm as I store it in inches.

Let me know if there's anything else you need. I hope it helps and is in the required format.
