WOW-BE Rainrate (Maybe For Boris?)
Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2025 1:30 am
MBPro (Oct 16 2025 Build 15629) uploading to WOW-BE shows constant Rainrate which is not correct.
There was a brief shower 0.4mm @ 03:37am 13/12/2025. Rain gauge is a metric 0.2mm Davis VP2 Spoon, rain resolution setting is 0.2mm
MBPro Min/Max Data tab Rain fall (Total amount) for Today (Sun 14) is 0.0mm Month Dec 0.4mm
Rain rate (hourly) Today all show 0.00, Month Dec (max) 1.4mm/h
It is currently Sunday Dec 14 @ 09:05 and WOW-BE Rainrate for every record since yesterday shows a rainrate of 0.51mm/h
Two issues I see here is the same ongoing continuous rainrate value (when it's not raining and has not rained today) and the value (0.51mm/h) itself. The connection I see to the 0.51mm/h would be an assumption of being 2 tips of an imperial 0.l" gauge => 0.2" * 0.254 => 0.508mm (0.51mm).
Also maybe a question for WOW-BE? They include a Rainrate but not a Raintotal in the primary icon list (Temp, Wind, Rainrate, Pressure, Rel Hum, Sol.Rad etc)? Yet under the Daily Observations tab there is a [Rainrate] panel with the values (which is for today only 14/12/25)
Maximum intensity 0.5mm/h
Total precipitation quantity 0.5mm
Precipitation duration 00s
