Number of dry days

Post by Dennisdg »

Steve

I note you have added 'number of dry days so far' to the Cumulus Software. I've search for a WEB TAG for it without success, are you planning to make one or have I missed it?

I may have missed it; I forget myself what exactly I've added. Are you referring to the number of days in the current dry spell? The web tag for that is <#ConsecutiveDryDays>

No, its the total of number of dry days this month and year, not Consecutive Dry Days.

No, only the items on the 'This Month' and 'This Year' screens which are for the current month and are maintained and stored elsewhere (i.e. in month.ini and year.ini) are available as web tags (mainly the 'extremes'). The values on those screens are calculated 'on the fly' from the log files, for the selected month/year. Number of wet days and number of dry days for the current month/year are not maintained separately in month.ini and year.ini, so no web tags exist.

That's not to say that they couldn't exist in the future, but it's not as simple as just inventing a web tag for them.
