Rainfall today graph no zero

Post by wlengel »

Just downloaded Cumulus a few days ago after using Free WX since 2004. Running on my old Win XP machine and everything seems to be working fine with one exception. When the rain stops and the Rainfall Last Hour and Rate read zero, the Rainfall Today graph still shows the last reading and will hold it till midnight when it falls to zero. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

That sounds like it's working as expected. The 'rainfall today' graph shows the total rain accumulated so far in the day.

Thanks Steve, I guess I was comparing it to the Free WX rainfall graph which returns to zero. I will sit back and enjoy my new software.

Yes, the rainfall today graph returns to 0.0 mm or 0.00 inches at when the logs roll over; 9 am or midnight. This is because the daily rainfall total resets when the logs roll over.
