the acurite console reported a huge value for rain. it happens. sometimes
it is due to bad rf comms with the sensors. sometimes it is due to flaky
usb connection between the console and the computer. sometimes the 5in1
sensor cluster bounces around in the wind, resulting in a bunch of bucket
tips.
look for 'rain counter decrement ignored' in the log. if you see that, it
was probably a sensor or console glitch.
did the ~19.5 inches happen in a single archive interval?
you can prevent spikes from getting into your database by adding a value
for 'rain' in StdQC like this:
[StdQC]
[[MinMax]]
...
rain = 0, 10, mm
that will reject any incremental rainfall greater than 10 mm
m
