Re: [weewx-user] Re: acurite 5 in 1, once or twice a month random amounts of rain (2000mm more or less)

2016-12-01 Thread Andrew Milner 
I have just seen that my weewx.conf has rain set as 0 to 60 inch - and I 
now think that 0 to 6 inch is more appropriate, so I am changing my QC 
values now!!

 It's very annoying because I have to delete by hand the sqlite.db.

Well the world record for rainfall is apparently 38mm in one minute ( = 
190mm if a for a 5 minute archive period) and the world record for an hour 
is 300mm in 42 minutes - so that should let you set some sensible limits!!

 mwall,

 QC has never prevented Rain nor RainRate spikes being written to my 
 database.  I typically will get 30 inches of rain (one record) and 99 
 inches of rain (four records) written.  

 I typically just null them out and restart.
