WD Maximum Rain Rate

Having observed the behaviour of the Maximum Rain Rate in WD over some time, I have to say that it has only novelty value for much of the time. Here is a typical example. My rain gauge showed a 0.2mm tip at 0104h this morning followed by another 0.2mm at 0130h. I have WD running on both my computers, one in server mode and the other in client mode. Server mode WD decided that the Max Rain Rate was 34.29mm per hour at 0104h, whereas the Client mode WD (using the same data) decided that the Maximum rain rate was 11.74mm at 0211h, when the rain had become more persistent. I have included a screen shot of graph for clarity, but this behaviour of the Rain Rate in WD is entirely typical.

the problem is with the client version and the timing of the incoming data, and it determing the rain rate from that
better would be that the client version used the same rain rate as the server version (ie the server version provided that)
