Apologies for the intermittent coverage of rainfall today, as the old station's rain gauge dropped out again mid-morning. The good news is that I believe I've managed to arrange a temporary solution, that should keep the rain gauge online now until the old station/website are replaced by the new station/site, hopefully next month.
Initial testing of the temporary fix looks good, with the heavy rainfall late this afternoon being correctly recorded and the gauge remaining online thereafter.
Once again, the historical records will not be adversely affected by today's issues as the new station is running in parallel and recording rainfall correctly.
