I see you say this is after a heavy downpour. Are you able to quantify the rainfall which occurs in the hour during which WU gives --??? Perhaps you are exceeding something they regard as a maximum level - in which case take it up with WU. As Tom says 0 forget weewx rainrate - check the weewx rain column instead whilst you search for your problem (if there is one) The rain column SHOULD contain the rainfall which occurred within the archive period - it should NOT be an hourly rainfall or any other form of accumulated/calculated rainfall.
