So I’ve been happily pulling 30 minute interval rain data for my Tempest from the API and comparing it to electrical draw for a sump pump in my basement for about 18 months now.

This was all to understand how much rainfall triggers sump activity and things were going well…behaviors correlated etc.

As I started to aggregate my rainfall measurements (from 30 minute to daily) and compare those to what was in the Tempest app and NOAA, I spent about a hour really confused. Nothing added up and interval data was summing to about 40% of the app and NOAA?!?!?

Then I discovered [Tempest’s Rain Check Software](https://help.weatherflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024436634-Rain-Check-Software).

So, I already pull hourly data from NOAA based on my zip code, but **I’m curious if it’s possible to pull the Nearcast adjusted data for my station from the Tempest API as well**?.

Thank you.
