I received my Tempest a few days ago.  
It’s working really well, but since the last rain it always shows „TRACE“ in the statistics of rain.

Is there a way to fix this?  
There is no rain outside, and the station is installed sturdy 🙂

Hi Felix

already zoom in to see some more details, there you see it a little un zoomed and you have less details, fully zoomed in you get this (this is taken on computer)

and below why it shows trace

Total daily rain accumulation, starting at midnight local time, is updated every minute. When the daily total is small enough that it would round to zero, the Tempest apps will display “Trace” instead. Rain accumulation is also reported in weekly, monthly, yearly and “all time” time ranges.

Hopefully this answers your interogation.
