Topic: "Days Since Last Rain" incorrect

[ingogliar]

Would anyone have suggestions as to why my "Days since Last Rain" [wxtrends.php] data is incorrect (it is stuck in May). I am using the Meteohub (SheevaPlug) with the Saratoga USA Base Template.

Everything else is fine - it is driving me crazy!

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Sadly, it's an issue with the data that Meteohub doesn't provide.  I'd tried to calculate it using (in MH-defs.php)

Code: [Select]

if(substr($WX['year1_rain0_ratemax_time'],0,4) > '2010') { // got a last rain valid date
 $dateoflastrainalways = MHdateOnly($WX['year1_rain0_ratemax_time'],$SITE['WDdateMDY']);
 $timeoflastrainalways = MHtimeOnly($WX['year1_rain0_ratemax_time']);

 //$dayswithnorain = intval((strtotime(date('Y-m-d'))-strtotime(MHISOdateOnly($WX['year1_rain0_ratemax_time']))-1)/86400);
}
but the $WX['year1_rain0_ratemax_time'] only changes when the maximum rate for a storm is larger than the prior one, and not the actual date of the last rain -- there is no Meteohub tag with that data, so the line computing $dayswithnorain is commented out.

If Meteohub provided the data reliably, it would have been presented

Ken,

Thank you very much, anyway! You are always so "right on top" of everything. Again, thanks! (maybe someday).

Is there a way to suggest this to them (nobody seems to respond on their forum)?

I do wish there was a reliable way to have Boris respond on the Meteohub forum .. so far, I've not found an effective alternative, so I recommend you post it on the Meteohub forum under feature requests.

Best regards,
Ken
