The WeatherLink software keeps a separate rainfall database which enables you
to view accumulated rainfall totals broken down by month and year. If you have
existing data in your main weather database, the software will create the rainfall
database using the data stored in your main weather database. Once created, the
software updates the rainfall database after each download. It is also possible to
alter any existing entry in the rainfall database and to enter rainfall totals for
months and years which are not contained in your main weather database.
When the Yearly Rainfall window is active, a Rain menu is
added to the menu bar. This menu allows you to start a new
rainfall database, edit data, add years of rainfall data, or
delete years of rainfall data.
