Rain
All the rain values are displayed in the
same section on the console below the
barometric pressure variable, on the
right side.
The rain values include RAIN RATE,
RAIN DAY (current day’s rain total),
RAIN MO (monthly rain total), and
RAIN YEAR (yearly rain total).
1. Press RAIN to display the current rain rate.
Rain rate will display a number other than zero and the umbrella icon appears
when two tips of the rain spoon have occurred within a 15-minute period.
2. Press RAIN again to display RAIN DAY, the rain accumulated since 12:00
midnight.
3. Press RAIN a third time to select the month-to-date precipitation data. Monthly rain
displays the precipitation accumulated since the calendar month began.
4. Press RAIN a fourth time to display the year-to-date precipitation data. Yearly rain displays
the precipitation accumulated since the first of the month you’ve chosen as the beginning of
your rain season in Setup Mode. (See “Screen 14: Rain Season” on page 13.)
All rain measurements may be displayed as either inches per hour (in/hr) or millimeters per
hour (mm/hr). See “Selecting Units of Measure” on page 26 for more information on
changing the unit of measure.
5. Press WxCEN to display the weather information available for all of the rain variables in
the Weather Center.
6. Press WxCEN multiple times to scroll through the rain-related Weather Center screens,
which include:
• Rain Rate — Displays the current rate of rain (unless already displayed).
• Rain Rate Maximum — Displays the maximum rain rate for the day and the time the
rate occurred.
• Rain Last 15 Minutes — Displays the total amount of rain recorded over the last 15
minutes.
• Rain Last 24 Hours — Displays the total amount of rain recorded over the last 24
hours.
• Rain Day — Displays rain since midnight (unless already displayed).
• Last Storm — Displays the rain total from the last rain event and the date on which the
most recent storm ended. It takes two tips of the rain spoon to begin a storm event and
24 hours without rain to end a storm event.
• Rain Last __ Days — Displays the total rain amount over a user-selected number of
days. To change the number of days over which the total rain amount is displayed, press
the + and - keys when this screen is displayed in the Weather Center. The number of
days allowable is 26 (the last 25 days plus the current day).
