Rain gauge not updatetd in a sub-menu

In menu
weather -> outlook -> current conditions the precipitation value is never updated and always 0. Is this just my problem? (i use Netatmo plugin). In all other parts of the template, the value is updated correctly. In the screenshot below, first row is METAR station, second raw is mine.

This is rain rate, not precipitation and I know that NetAtmo not always reports this correctly

English label icon is "precipitation"
Therefore, the strange thing is that this value is reported correctly in home page and in other statistics...

When you see mm/h or in/h it is always rain rate

Another remark. In the "current conditions" block, also when this is displayed at 100% width, the rain rate "mm/h" appear wrapped ("h" slip to the bottom line). Can you do something? I think would be really good if it looks good at least up to two full digits.

The workaround: Open currentBlock.php in a text editor, go to line 302 and edit this string to the font size you want (for me it suits 0.6em):
Code: Select all
<span style="font-size:0.6em"> <?php echo $displayRainUnits."/".lang('hAbbr','l')?></span>
Be aware if the block gets an update - all your changes are gone.

The block does not have a fixed width, it will wrap to a new line depending on how wide your column is. If you want all on one line you need to make the column wider.

Ok, but this block is in my header, so it would spans to the full width of the page... Instead it does not even fill the entire width of the column (my page width is 1920px and central column is set to 50%).
