Looking at what is displayed on the web page is an unreliable way of determining whether there is an error. The weewx log is your friend and the log will tell you what is happening/has happended. There could well be an error, or depending on your station weewx could just be downloading records stored in the stations logger. You need to look at the log starting at the time you started weewx (2:22pm in this case). If you are having trouble interpreting what is going on post it here (in its entirety not just the bit you can't interpret) and someone will help. all other functions are working I think except the wind sensor. No rain yet > either. > Exactly what is the issue? Wind is not being displayed on the station console? If so I would not expect weewx will see it then, but then weewx is not displaying anything? You say no rain yet, do you doubt your rain gauge? The simple process to follow when an observation is missing is to (1) ensure there is something to observe (ie there is some wind or there is some rain) (2) what does the station display natively (3) what does weewx display. If the station and weewx agree either all is good or there is an issue with your station. If the latter then you need to sort out your station then repeat the steps. If the station and weewx disagree then you may have an issue with weewx. You should then check that weewx is correcttly configured for your station, consult the weewx user manual, search the forums etc. If you believe it is configured correctly and you can't troubleshoot any further then seek help through this forum providing station/weewx install details, config info and log extracts etc. > How can I add the accumulated rain to the data base?

If you just have 'there has been 31.87 inches of rain so far this year up until 3 October' then all you can really do is create some records in the weewx archive and arbitrarily add some rain to each until you come to 31.87 inches. This can be done by adding just 1 record, a few records or many records. You need to add the rain value to the rain field in the archive record, the dateTime field needs to hold the unix epoch timestamp of the record, the usUnits field needs to hold the weewx value for the relevant units used by your archive (likely 1 for US customary) and the interval field needs to hold the archive period in minutes. All other fields should contain NULL (or None in python terms). Once complete you would need to use the wee_database utility to drop your daily summaries then backfill <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Dropping_and_rebuilding_the_daily_summaries> them. You will now have a database that reflects your rain to date, but you will have likely made many other historical rain statistics meaningless (eg if you put all your rain in 1 record then if you ever looked for the highest rain in a day I suspect it will always be 31.87 inches) . Your 'future' stats will make sense but anything before 3 October 2016 will not. Its a personal choice.
