At a guess I would say radiation being reported as a fairly constant 900 (including though the night) means something is not quite right. Guessing from the lack of previous radiation data there is no solar sensor. Do you have a console? If so what shows on the console (for both rain and radiation)? If it’s the same as reported by WeeWX then that points to a station hardware issue. If the console shows different data then it’s likely a WeeWX issue.
I do have vague recollection of seeing a spontaneous radiation issue before, no idea where or indeed if anything to do with WeeWX. Maybe some googling is in order.
