what kind of weather station is this? do you ever see this other than when weewx starts up? please be more specific about "the rain total is off for further periods". the rain values in weewx are delta measurements, but most hardware reports rain totals. so any driver must have two data points before it can report a value for rain delta. the message "skipping rain measurement...: no last rain" indicates that the driver got a non-zero value for the rain total, but since it had no previous value it cannot calculate a rain delta. the message lets you know that some rain data might have been missed. (btw, one utility function that might be useful for driver developers would be to get the last rain total from the database, if one exists. then we could use that value instead of just saying "no last value". almost every driver has to deal with this for rain or any other delta observations.) if the weewx rain totals do not agree with a canonical reference, you can fix your rain counts by manually adding values to the weewx database m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
