Record-breaking floods in the Northern Rivers regions of the state of New
South Wales in Australia last year has set us looking for a way to report
hourly, or more frequent, rainfall intensity, to better inform those
downstream.
As the official gauge network is sparse and flaky, our present 'solution'
is a few human Rain Sentinels' who live high up in the catchment. They
agree to read their gauges hourly and get the readings out, by phone as
long as that lasts (not very), then CB radio.
We haven't had much success with off-the-shelf weather stations, but maybe
there are WeeWx gurus who would know how to help script such a reporting
function.
I've bought a couple of 8" tipping bucket gauges, and am playing with
Arduino code to keep daily, tips per minute files, on a local SD card, to
be relayed on to a LORA-APRS system (o.n.o), and as last resort, on a local
display.
Any guidance or assistance very welcome.
