Sorry for the long post, but the details might matter. We had a significant rain event last weekend and my rain gauge responded in a very weird way (which it has done before). It was raining when I got up in the AM, 1/2 inch collected already. After about 3/4in, it POURED and the rain rate slowed to something like .07in/hour. I replaced the rain gauge (with the Davis rehab kit) last fall and went out in the downpour to check the bucket/collector. No blockages, not full of water...
My next door neighbor's device report 2.19" of rain when it ended that day. Mine reported 1.90", however it continued to report .01 or .02 clicks at a time until it finally stopped at .42" the next day (although we had no rainfall) for a storm total of 2.32", not terribly far off from my neighbor's 2.19". I have attached the chart that illustrates the slow collection- as if the collection was full of water that slowly leaked out (can't be the case). The very next day we had a brief, heavy thunderstorm. Both my neighbor and I reported the same .30" for the even[image: Screenshot2023-04-24.png]t. Weewx 4.9.1 Vantage Vue with an IPconnect. We're looking at another 1-3" of rain this weekend, and I'd love to hear any suggestions!
