Cumulus Support

Hi,

I am aware of the Enhancement Requests section, but I would prefer to ask for others views (especially Steve's) before adding to that already very long list. Incidentally, I did check if this suggestion had been proposed before, but the nearest I found was #95, which although marked as "new" actually appears to be done (so maybe I've helped to shorten the list).

Looking through this thread for example, it appears that everybody's "Average and Extremes..." table has a line of "white space" at the foot of the rain panel (so it doesn't seem to be used by any "hidden" data like the solar/extra on the main screen).

My proposal is to add an entry for "Dry days" (or maybe "Percent wet days", but I prefer to KIS) in the blank row. Of course it's easy enough to calculate the value mentally for a full year, but presumably most users have an incomplete "first" year of data and the same table/format is also used for the current year and for any selected period.

Alternatively, if the empty row is reserved for some future (or current) use, then perhaps "Percent Wet days" could go after the days value in the "Rain days" row (below the "day xx/xx" of thge rows above).

Thanks, Alan.

No, that one isn't done yet.

It wouldn't be hard to add that; the data on that screen isn't in a fixed format, so even where there isn't currently any free space, things can be 'squeezed' in, as in the temperature section, and the required value is readily available as a side effect of calculating the number of rain days.
