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. Actual values are published both on the rain graph and on the LIST VIEW in the a…

Great question, and while it sounds like this is mostly cleared up, I thought I’d officially summarize how the rain graph is supposed to work: The blue bar represents the average hourly rate for the time period shown, while the green line represents the daily accumulation (since midnight in the loc…

After much research, we found no real global standard for rain intensity. That said, we based the rain intensity for SKY on the following sources. The sensitivity of SKY exceeds the ability of a common rain bucket collector to determine instantaneous rain intensity…so it’s relatively new territory…a…

thanks to illustrate the rainfall intensity, but I’ve noticed some SKY station that have rain but I’m get confused by the rain graph. [ea8a5599-d19f-4cff-836e-26a0b2929b8c] as you can see in the picture the green line(Accumulation) is less than the blue tower(rain rate) even when the rain rate reco…

The scale shown on the left side is only for accumulated rain. The bars show the rainfall rate but on an entirely different scale (which probably should be shown on the right side of the graph in a color to match the bars, but that is probably a feature request for WF staff). If you tap or click o…

You left out; Holy $@#? Extream > 200mm/hour Also known as “Build an Ark”

@todayweather4 What is the station ID for the graphs you referenced? Try zooming into the 1min temporal resolution for better granularity. The 1min observations report total accumulation in one minute. The 1min graph shows the rate (total/min) converted to /hour. The other temporal resolutions su…

this is the station that I’m reference to Weather station and your explanation illustrate many things for me but I’m sorry because it’s not clear my confusion, the things that makes me confused is on this picture below [Screenshot-2018-4-20%20My%20Smart%20Weather%20Station(1)] the rain tare is 12…

[image] todayweather4: the rain tare is 125mm/h but the accumulation is 70mm less than the rain rate Yes that is the way it should be. 125mm would only show up as the accumulation if that 125mm/hr rate lasted for a full hour. Since 125mm/hr only lasted for 1 minute (and other rain rates were …

Think of rain rate as driving speed. You can drive 100 km/h for 6 minutes (0.1 hour) and only have traveled 10 km. Similar to what @hankster said, you would have to drive 100 km/h for a whole hour to have traveled the full 100 km.

Or think of it as a water pump. You can pump at 360 gallons an hour. But in one minute you only get 6 gallons.

thanks so much to you guys @hankster @gizmoev and @GaryFunk for your explanation and to provide a different examples, you guys clear my confusion and I’m fully knowledge of it, I don’t know why i don’t think of it as a speed (per hour).
