Incorrect rain measurement

Post by rimat2 » Wed Nov 08, 2017 7:54 pm

I've made a comparison between measuring the rain at the bloom sky and the rain gauge (new) of dv2. There is a big gap and there seems to be a fake measuring rain at the bloom sky station. Recognize such a problem?

Im not surprised to be quite honest because rain has been problematic for a long time with the BS API, often reported incorrect, delayed etc

Yes, to reiterate what Jachym has said above, I've known it to rain and not show up in the database until 35 minutes later. Oddly the rain rate shows up straight away.
