unwanted rain rate

Post by Alan »

Hi all,
Is it at all possible to get rid of unwanted rain rates on the day of it's occurrence?
I have no problem doing it once it becomes yesterday's data.
I suspect that deleting or modifying it whilst in today's data only results in it being rewritten by the weather station itself. Is this the case or am I up the wrong tree?

Thanks
Alan

Cumulus calculates the rain rate for Fine Offset stations, based on the amount of rain the station says has fallen in the last five minutes. So after a few minutes, the rate should correct itself anyway.

If it's today's maximum rain rate that you want to alter, you need to stop Cumulus and edit today.ini.
