Re: Bizarre rainfall data
Just to add that vast amounts like that are most likely a result of temporary corrupted data due to radio interference - or whatever - rather than the other common problems like wind shaking the rain gauge. Sometimes the (Fine Offset) station's rainfall counter just does odd things when Cumulus reads it. I keep adding extra code to try to cater for it, but it's difficult to cover every situation.
