Accumulative rain graph?
Perhaps I am missing something obvious, but is it possible for Meteohub to produce a graph which shows accumulating rainfall over a period, e.g. like the rain line on the attached screenshot extract from WD?

Pity. Oh Well. Maybe someday...admin wrote:no.
Thanks for confirming.
Re:Accumulative rain graph?
Yeah, after watching some rain being displayed on my graphs an accumulation chart would be better to show how much rain fell and when over the day for instance. I would like to see this in a future release if possible. Thanks.

The cumulative data seems to be what is being recorded by Meteohub. Inspecting rain0 data, the columns are defined as time (year-->sec) followed by rainrate, rainfall yesterday (not supported as of the v2.2 doc I'm looking at), followed by \"rainfall total since beginning of recording.\"
In my Mac's text-editing program, BBEdit, it shows the columns are space-delimited.
Weather Underground also seems to record my cumulative rainfall.
I'm no programmer and have difficulty manipulating data, but it gives me a glimpse of how it the data would yield a cumulative rain total, in some other application perhaps. It would be neat for Meteohub to deal with it. I had to reset my rainguage after I jarred it and found it yielded 1m/hour. The first reset effort took it down to 3.98 inches/hour. Resetting everything in sight reduced it to zero and reset my cumulative rain in the raw data as well.
I live out in the cornfields of Michigan, and cumulative rainfall seems more important, by the week or month, than rainfall rate. I worked 40 years ago for Detroit's water and sewer utility, and learned that 2 inches per hour was the capacity of the system as well as many suburban systems. But that's one of the few times rainfall rate has seemed of any significance.
