Weather-Display (10.37S-(b75)

I’m not sure when this happened but I am missing Last month and total last year at this time.

I did post over in the WX forum, but I am not sure if this is a WD or WX issue, or my own issue.

Records and Stats
RAIN RAIN HISTORY
Today 0.00 in (0.00 in last hour) Today 0 days since last rain on 25-Jul-2018 11:26pm
Yest. 1.18 in Week 5.280 in over last 7 days.
Month 6.09 in (11 rain days this month) Month 0.00 in last month.
Year 28.22 in ( 110 rain days this year) Year 0.00 in total last year at this time.

if you go to view, rain chart
do you see the correct rain totals there for the months in question

Yes, View Rain chart, also In the Temp/Wind/Rain chart under view.

Weather Display install file v 10.37S Build 75

Ok so - Question, if you go here and view my Records and Stats - Rain History - Month 0.00 in last month – is this suppose to show the total of last month’s rain or is it a measure of something else?

Second, to update that section I must now go to View - Trends and do a manual reset.

Conversation over at Wx http://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=34818.0

Thanks for any help

Ok another update:

Just saw and updated Weather Display to Weather Display install file v 10.37S Build 76 installed and now under the Records and Stats - Year that total is back to 0.00

Going back to View - Trends - refresh - ok to see it that resovles the issue again.

So yes the manual refresh updated the year but not the month.

if you are using a custom web page that uses the trends custom tags then you need to make sure that you have the trends web data updated at least daily
(i.e set a time for that to be created)

I create the ‘trends.gif’ every minute, yet all day now it’s displaying ‘0.00’ for ‘Rain Last Month’. This is most likely a bug, Brian, because it’s universal for those of us who have checked. I suspect that this is only the case on the first day of the month, i.e. it’s a boundary problem.

yes, will be likely a problem that occurs on the 1st day of the month
updating that every minute could be a bit of over kill 8O

Hey Jerry, I don’t have “trends.gif” turned on at all – neither create or upload.

I did notice I had the Temperature panel #42 to upload but not to create, and now i did turn both on, to create and upload, but no difference in the problem.

its not clear what the current problem is now though
?

Well, the problem seems to be the last month and possible the last year totals in the weather trends – Going to View Trends and refreshing clears the year problem but not the last month problem??? I am not sure how long my problem has been around, I just happened to notice it the other day, at first I thought it was the latest update, so I went back to 73? and had the same issue, I have also looked at people still using b63 – they have the last year but still show 0.00 rain from last month. That’s about all I can tell you.

I also have the same issue. Trends chart in WD does not show last month rainfall and Last year and Last month are 0.00 in wxtrends.php in the Saratoga Template. Did not understand the discussion about file #42 in WD, which has something to do with temperature not rain in my version. Sorry to muddy the waters more! Weather Display Ver 10.37S61.

it might have been a first day of the month issue

its still not all that clear me the exact issue
screen shots help a lot :wink:

The problem persists on August 2, 2018, Brian:

that number is the rain total for the month to date, to this date ,for last month
did you have any rain for the month of july by the 2nd of july?

Ok, so you are saying this value is not Last Months Rain Total - but Last Months Rain Total Per day. Example, Today is August 3, and Last Months Rain Total is only shown for July 1,2,3???

2nd, Then the Column under that; Year, only represents the Total Rain Fall for the Year up to August 3.

3rd, What about the the need to go to View - Trends – Refresh - OK to get new totals?

Last where can I add “in total last year at this time” for the Last Month, like the Year has?

I had rain on the first of July, and it’s now present in ‘Trends’!

Thanks, Brian for the clarification. It’s difficult to word that properly without a footnote to explain what ‘last month’ means.

yes…there is not really the real estate to word that,lol

3rd, What about the the need to go to View - Trends -- Refresh - OK to get new totals?
as long as you have trends.gif updating then you should not need to do that
Last where can I add "in total last year at this time" for the Last Month, like the Year has?
not sure what you are meaning there

Ok since I can’t seem to post screen shots here. If you look here:

http://www.pennlake.us/wxtrends.php

and then look here:
http://www.pennlake.us/wxraindetail.php?

I should be showing something other than 0.00 in the Trends. July 2, had .01 and July 4, had 0.11
