I mean 44 inches of water is quite a bit in the last two days, so that is very much possible 😃 ---

Just an update. WeatherFlow is sending me a replacement device with a return label for the faulty one. I’ll keep this thread updated if I hear anything back from them on what went wrong, which I probably won’t. ---

Did they send you scuba tanks and a dry suit, too? ---

44" of measured rainfall means you got the secret “WaterFlow” Tempest! ---

Alright, I’m back online with a new Tempest [https://tempestwx.com/station/27051/grid](https://tempestwx.com/station/27051/grid) Shipped the old one back to WeatherFlow, hopefully they figure out what went wrong with it. Is there any way to purge the false rain data for those several days? ---

Maybe submit a request to support otherwise delete all data but then you lose all the history. ---

yeah I was hoping to only delete those couple of 20+ inch of rain days. Rest can stay ---

It’s messing up my stats thresholds so seeing any rain less than an inch is virtually impossible. ![Screen Shot 2020-09-13 at 15.32.16](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/0/0239f0aa88c95f52d9545a5a140482ee2c4dd2ca.png) ---

zoom in as far as you can. It helps a bit, but it is unfortunate that we can’t scale it manually. Personally I prefer the rain-rate graph. (available from the top left menu of this graph or any other graph) ---

It looked normal before the false 26 inches of rain came about lol. It would just graph based on the daily high in the normal ranges (not 26 inches lol) ---

The higher zoom levels will start to look normal again in a couple of days /weeks, when the wrong data isn’t in view of that particular zoom level anymore. ---

That’d be great. This Tempest seems to perform as expected as of now, will keep this thread updated if anything comes up. [Previous page](https://community.tempest.earth/t/rain-sensor-is-stuck/8945.md?page=1)
