Daily rainfall lags behing rainfall rate
Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2010 3:14 am
Several times lately I have noticed that when a storm starts there is a rain rate displayed in Weather Display Live for many minutes before the Daily Rainfall is updated even though I can see on the VP2 console that a significant amount of rain has occurred. I am uploading clientraw.txt once per minute.
During a storm that just occurred, the daily total did not update for 15 minutes even though the rain rate changed several times during this period. All-sensors.xml and weather underground showed the same long lag time before updating as clientraw.txt.
It seems as if the meteohub must have started processing the data in order to update the rain rate. Why the long delay updating daily totals? It seems to be getting worse over time. Is there something I can do to reduce this delay? Would a faster processor make a difference? (I'm on an NSLU2) I've already turned of rapid fire updates to weatherunderground.
Appreciate your thoughts and ideas!
