Hi, I am discussing with Tim Roche of WU over trello on rainfall rate in WU. Ideally I would have liked if WU reported instantaneous rainfall rate than the accumulated rainfall in last 60 minutes. Here is what Tim Roche replied on trello:
Rainfall rate and daily precip are inputs to the PWS data. if they are sent we use them. http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.php/PWS_-_Upload_Protocol I have again replied to him with the below: The PWS upload protocol only has below: rainin - [rain inches over the past hour)] -- the accumulated rainfall in the past 60 min This is not instantaneous rainfall rate. This is interpreted as the rainfall accumulated in past 60 mins and sent by weewx to WU. Some details on same in below thread too: https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=9155.0 I was just wondering if weewx can be hacked/modified to send instantaenous rainfall rates instead of SQLSUM. If so where should I make the changes? (restful.py) Maybe others here can also chime in on the trello board so that we can sort out this issue. Reporting rainfall over last hour as rainfall rate doesn't make sense. Particularly in tropical areas where we may get short 5 minutes bursts of rains.
