Hi
The rain that reports on the station reads say 15 mm
as the manual rain gauge in the garden reads something like 21mm.
they are only 20 feet apart
What I would like to do is level up the readings.
Where can I start?
Many Thanks
in advance
Fred

You could add a rainfall multiplier into the Cumulus calibration settings. In your case 21/15 = 1.4x so that may be a good starting point.
