Cumulus Support

All you can do is retrospectively modify the previous rain counter values to take account of the current value, so that all of the values are once again consistent. That's how the 'today's rain' editor works. It rewrites history by pretending that the start of day counter was something other than what it actually was at the time.

There's no limit. Well, apart from the size of the counter, which is 16 bits when Cumulus reads it. I don't know the actual size of the register in the rain gauge. It's just a counter, it just keeps going up, whether the console is reading it or not; the transmitter doesn't know that the station isn't reading it.
