Good morning, in the latest version of Template "Nectarine", I find the following problem, in this version when there is precipitation on any day, I do not know why, it accumulates for the next day in the first record, thus creating an inconsistency, thanks to the Bulk Database Editing tool (Check and Fix Rain) this anomaly is easily solved, my question is whether from now on this will be the only solution or do I have to make some modification in the template?
Thank you

Re: Required rectification of rain data
The reason for this anomaly, Juan Maria Vilario, is as stated above the "Check and Fix Rain" button.
"Sometimes when you have short API update intervals and your server is slower or has a temporary glitch, the cache file around midnight might not be deleted in time and used by the subsequent API update. This leads to the day 1 rain being copied over to day 2. The below button will check your database for any such cases and fix them."
So, no, you need not change anything in the template other than experimenting with the API update frequency to minimise such occurrences. I too experience this problem from time to time but it is just a matter of monitoring your rain details and using the fix button to correct the data base readings.
Regards,
John
