Easyweather seems to show the same wind gust (well 127.7mph), but not the rain fall.
Corrupt data from the sensors, I guess, if Easyweather shows the same. EW calculates rainfall in a different way to Cumulus, so I guess that's why it doesn't show that.

The odd thing is that the data files don't show any problem with the rain:

19/02/10,23:50,-1.6,92,-2.7,0.0,2.2,4,0.0,0.3,993.8,122.4,22.3,33,0.7,-1.6,-1.6

20/02/10,00:10,-2.0,91,-3.3,0.0,1.6,346,0.0,0.0,994.0,122.4,22.1,33,0.0,-2.0,-2.0

20/02/10,00:30,-1.7,91,-3.0,0.0,3.1,6,0.0,0.0,994.0,122.4,21.9,33,2.2,-1.7,-1.7
20/02/10,00:40,-1.5,90,-2.9,0.7,128.0,85,0.0,0.0,993.8,122.4,21.9,32,1.6,-1.5,-1.5
20/02/10,00:50,-1.7,89,-3.3,0.0,1.6,357,0.0,0.0,993.8,122.4,21.8,32,0.7,-1.7,-1.7
20/02/10,01:00,-1.8,88,-3.5,0.0,3.1,267,0.0,0.0,993.9,122.4,21.7,32,1.6,-1.8,-1.8

It looks like you just need to correct that 128.0, and reinstate your alltime.rec from a recent backup.

Edit: Re the rainfall - if the rain counter went to a silly value for just one reading, that would affect the all-time records, but not appear in the logs or affect any other values if it then returned to the correct value on the next reading, so that's presumably what happened.

Thanks Steve, all sorted now.

Sorry for posting in wrong place, just did a search for Wind Gust and never checked which section it was in :bash:
