Need help adjusting crazy yearly rainfall totals

[PaulMy]

What is your settings for "Rain" year?
The sum of your Historic Monthly Rainfall shows 37.4 (rounded to 1 decimal)

Hi Paul sorry for the dumb question but were exactly is this " Rain" year ? In my cumulus dashboard? If its there it already shows 13.06

Station Settings > Annual Rainfall.

Hi Water01! Its already showing 13.06 in there. It also shows up in my weatherlink.com account its just not showing up in my site.

This is what i have.

YEAR TO DATE AMOUNT: 13.06

YEAR TO WHICH YEAR TO DATE AMOUNT APPLIES: 0


Here is my site. bottom says 37.49

Looking at your code in the Developers console it is using <!-- Cumulus WebTag XML Data file - version 1.8 --> and the data is being loaded from this XML item

Code: Select all

<item name="ryear">
<value>37.49</value>
<unit>
<![CDATA[ ]]>
</unit>
<image/>
<class>dynamic</class>
<description>The total rainfall so far this year</description>
</item>

Now I am afraid I am not familiar with how this XML file is loaded with data except the instructions in the Wiki says it is processed as an extra file by CumulusMX, presumably the base file is an XML formatted file containing the correct WebTags that pass the data to the XML file and uploads it.

However, the original 1.8 file is no longer available in the Wiki so I cannot see what WebTag field is being used to load "ryear".

It could be that the 1.8 file is out of date as far as WebTags are concerned and it is loading the wrong data.

Perhaps if you attached XML file you are using we could check that?

Sorry if my post wasn't clear. What is the "Start of rainfall season:" in the Annual Rainfall settings?

Enjoy,

Start of rainfall season: MAY

[freddie]

So does the sum of rainfall since the start of May 2023 add up to 37.4 inches?

I've not heard of a rainfall season starting in May before - it defaults to January so it must be something you have set.

Where are you located?

[De Hout]

on my site it still says 37.49

That may be a caching issue.
I don't see 37.49 anywhere on your site.

Its there surely. Please show me a screen shot from your end i already cleared my cache a few times in mutiple pcs. Hoping i can get this resolved.

Sorry Adrian, I didn't look in the right place. Indeed, I see it now too.
Unfortunately, I can't help you further because I still use Cumulus 1. I don't know anything about higher versions.

Dont Understand its always been that. The day it offically starts here is May 15th. Change it to January even thought it starts in May?

About the same thing in CU1 and CMX - "Rainfall season start" in CU1 and "Start of rainfall season" in CMX, just in a different Station setup menu tab.
