The Vantage protocol reports storm rain in the LOOP packets. If you are
running V3.7 (or later), these will be used to augment the archive records,
so values should already be in there. Look for observation type stormRain.
All you have to do is add a slot in the database for the value. The Customizing
Guide <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#add_archive_type> tells you
how to do this.
However, looking through the code, I see one subtle problem: the code uses
the *average* value of stormRain over the archive interval, when what you
want is the *last* value. So, you would need to add the following to
weewx.conf (NOT TESTED):
[Accumulator]
[[stormRain]]
extractor = last
We'll fix this bug in the next release.
Hope this helps.
