I would like to add more data about what weewx reports shows:

data are 5minutes reports (rain is daily sum)
sample 0: just before I reboot my sensor
sample 1: after it received this 21.8mm rain from last night.

Sample:    0  1     2     3     4     5
Rain:      0  21.8  21.8  21.8  21.8  21.8
Rain rate: 0  34.9  87.2  87.2  58.1  0
