Rain Days total

[equinox]

Hi, I really like the revised look of the v1.9.1 release, well done. Just one request. I was wondering if it is possible to add a field under 'Rain Days' which records rain days over a certain value as it appears that even condensation in the guage is counted as a rain day. It would be nice to have a 'Rain Days over 0.2mm' field for example, to filter this out. I have seen very small readings on totally clear days.
Love the software though and I will make a donation right now.
Regards, Eddie

It is preset at .2mm. Search for more info on it, as it is configurable.

Edit the RainDayThreshold setting in cumulus.ini

Thanks Steve. It appears it was set at -1. I have changed this to 0.2 although that was a figure I plucked out of the air so if you have a beter suggestion please feel free to make it.
Many thanks.

The default -1 corresponds to 0.2mm, so the change you have done has no effect. Also, I think your station is a Fine Offset, so unless you have modified your rain gauge, one tip is 0.3mm. If what you're trying to achieve is to ignore the first tip each day (as far as counting a 'rain day' is concerned) you need to set RainDayThreshold higher than that, e.g. 0.4. This will mean that only days where two or more tips have occurred count as rain days. Note that the total rainfall will still include both tips.
