Hi Steve.
First as usual I am using for the last 2 years with your program and very enjoy!
Yesterday was the 21.
1. This day supposed to be the day that have equal hours between the day to the night but the program show that it is not equal (more 2 seconds).
Today the program show that tomorrow will be 0 seconds (2 days offset . I think that maybe there is a problem with the calculation. (I am Living in Israel).
2. Total rain storm - this feature is very necessary, as i wrote you before. - could you please add it to the program? (reminder: submit all rain measurements of all continuous rain days).
Regards,
Amit.
Station: WH-1080
Cumulus 1.9.3 1056

If there's an enhancement request for this (and I believe there is), then there is the possibility that I will add it one day.

Steve, maybe a bit off topic but when I went to the "enhancement requests" link I got

Yes, you are. You've been a very naughty boy and you're not allowed to look at the enhancement requests any more :lol:

I was fiddling with the forum permissions recently and I think I must have broken something :oops:

I'll see if I can fix it...

Hi,

Equal hours of daylight and darkness occur around the equinoxes - March and September. I think you are probably referring to the Shortest day which was yesterday as you say. Yes, there is a small anomaly in Cumulus which reports that tomorrow will be a few seconds longer than today - the shortest day. Steve has pointed to the discussion we had about it and we've learned to ignore something that only happens two days a year. :)

It's depressing to have so little daylight so even though there won't be a noticeable difference here for another month psychologically it makes me feel better that the days are getting longer. :D
