Just curious to see if there are rainfall measurements after the update that are in line with known good sources, I have not gotten any rain yet and looks to be at least the weekend before I do. Thanks and please keep us posted on your rainfall results

This was posted by @dsj back in April I believe: In case you were wondering about rain intensity descriptive values on the DASHBOARD CARD VIEW of the app. These are specifically designed to give the average home user a simple and quick understanding of rain intensity.

weatherflow thinks that is better not to display the actual rain rate m(as they did before) to people that want to know the weather. I don’t agree, but they think it is too confusing.

And Holy $@#? Extreme > 200mm/hour Also known as “Build an Ark”

Thanks for your report. All SKY units in the field still have the same, default calibration applied with firmware the release of v94, which likely explains your SKY’s over-reporting. We are inching ever closer to the next step (applying custom calibrations to individual units) but we’re not quite th…
