BlizzardNole Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 0.03 for me . Ironically, I watched ol' Germantown where I used to live (and complain about missing rain) getting a nice soaking on radar LOL. I think my April total is close to zero, maybe a couple tenths. I've never seen such a dry April and I'm trying to grow a brand-new lawn.

Not bad really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 18 hours ago, mappy said: Thank you to you and @Eskimo Joe for the upcoming update! Had to retire my backyard station after another sensor broke, and after 10+ years of use, I say I got my moneys worth. Until I get a new one I’m relying on Mesonet and often forget to check precip totals the next day and then can’t go backwards in time haha Would recommend a Tempest as a quick replacement. I've had one for several years and it's quite cost effective. If you get a backup power pack from them, your data will be preserved and uploaded post-event for documentation. It's a very nice backyard product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set it for 5 min obs and picked the max hours(720). A bar graph shows each time it rained/amount, and at the top of the graph it displays total for the period.
