Daily rain editor and graphs
« on: July 15, 2015, 02:30:47 PM »
Had a leaf jam in my rain gage yesterday and after cleaning that out I edited yesterday's rain total. The stats reflect this change, but no graphs show the corrected values. Why?

Daily editor can only effect total. (Re: Daily rain editor and graphs)

Dear Marty and WeatherCat weather station caregivers, . . .

Had a leaf jam in my rain gage yesterday and after cleaning that out I edited yesterday's rain total. The stats reflect this change, but no graphs show the corrected values. Why?

Unfortunately, the daily rain editor is just that - a way to change the total for that day.  The graphs are generated from sample data taken throughout the day so they cannot be corrected by simply changing the total for the end of the day.  You could fix that if you knew when the rain actually fell, but I suppose you don't have that data.  Your graphs will appear off for a while, but eventually the anomaly will sail into the past.  Nonetheless your total statistics will be correct which I assume is the most important thing at this point.
