Hi,
Off late my vantage vue records very occasional false tips of 0.3mm rain. Never seen a false tip of more than 0.3mm at one shot. This happens not more than once in 2 weeks and mostly there would hav been a rain spell a day or two earlier atleast. Could it be that some water remaining from previous spell tips it very late? I read some theories tat mud in the spoon could cause water to cling and later it may evaporate causing a tip etc (not sure where I read it).
I dont have the debris filter on as birds keep plucking it out and I am fed up having to search for it everytime and then fit it back (I am in India and getting spare parts is not easy). I dont see any correlation between winds and tips. Stronger gusts have occurred without any tips than the winds when the false tip occur.
Not bothered too much at this point because the false tips are not frequent enough to greatly corrupt my readings but seeing what I can do to avoid it.
Regards,
Praveen
