Month and year rain same as today :-(

Post by elmdcw »

Hi,
Month and year rain are the same as today's rain. I am now running 1.9.2.(998). I had some spurious rain, and edited it as descibed in the FAQ, but now I have this prob. The logfile has the following entry:
28/06/2011 15:50:36.335 : Rainthismonth from dayfile.txt: 0
28/06/2011 15:50:36.335 : Rainthisyear from dayfile.txt: 0
which suggests the dayfile.txt file (attached) has an issue. But I checked it (with Excel) and the monthly and yearly rainfall data is there but it seems not to recognise it.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Dave

You've changed the date format to dd/mm/yyyy (probably by using Excel). It has to be dd/mm/yy.

Thanks, Steve - I would never have spotted that one.
