Hi Gary, you are right, there was no rain event during the log period (reason for zero rain values), I did check the log during an earlier rain event and indeed weewx was able to log the rain event as well as the rain rate. With respect to the data being sent by weewx to WU, I don't see any discrepancy in the data, console data matches with the WU data for rain total, just that the data gets updated every 5 minutes in WU instead of the expected RF updates, while WU temp, wind, wind direction all follow RF updates, only rain total and rain rate are reported every 5 minutes. So based on your inputs, I have to conclude that the issue is with WU. Yesterday I turned of the RF update by modifying the weewx.conf file (changed RF value from true to false), just to see how the WU data looks and found an interesting observation, when RF was turned ON WU did not report any wind gust, but after turning OFF RF updates, WU is reporting wind gust. This is a bit strange to me. Seems WU still has some issues with respect to the way the data is reported based on incoming data from weewx. SS
