Precipitation Rate not working
« on: April 12, 2019, 08:51:46 PM »
Well it is raining hard at my house right now (0.45 in/hr), but my page is showing 0 in/hr. At one point it said 0.26, but now it is stuck at 0. The precipitation accumulation is updating, but the rate is not. This is happening on Safari and Chrome.

Yep - every station I've been looking at so far, including mine, the rain rate isn't being displayed, while the precip total goes up correctly. It's definitely ingesting the data properly because the old version of the site still shows it fine. I'm sure this will be fixed in time.

It is using whole numbers, not decimals in this field.
Hopefully, it'll be changed to the format of the pressure field soon.

Yep, noticed that yesterday when we got heavier rain. 0.47 in/hr will still say 0 in/hr. 0.53 in/hr says 1 in/hr. Hopefully this gets fixed sooner rather than later, because if I want to see rain rate accurately I have to use the old site.

We're OK here in the UK, the rain rate and total are shown in mm, in fact the rain total claims to show accuracy to two decimal places!   On the other hand Wundermap prefers to show the rain in cm.   Oh well, data always takes a back seat when there is an upgrade.

Now the old dashboard is not displaying the precipitation rate correctly. Shows 0.02-0.03 in/hr when it really is 0.20 - 0.47 in/hr. It is even graphing the wrong rate rain. This page is going away eventually, so it doesn’t really matter as long as WU fixes the rain rate on the new dashboard.

I appear to be getting the proper precipitation rate in the actual graph but not in the summary table which shows a zero.
