Your rain gauge keeps resetting to zero:

22/04/2012 02:23:30.652 : 02:23:30 ****Rain reset? First chance: raindaystart = 2.09999990463257, raintotal = 0
22/04/2012 02:23:30.652 : Leaving counter at 2.09999990463257
22/04/2012 02:23:40.656 : 02:23:40 ****Rain counter reset confirmed: raindaystart = 2.09999990463257, raintotal = 0
22/04/2012 02:23:40.656 : Setting raindaystart to 0
22/04/2012 02:25:00.701 : Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 22/04/2012 02:25:00 raindaystart = 0 rain counter = 0

22/04/2012 18:20:00.440 : Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 22/04/2012 18:20:00 raindaystart = 0 rain counter = 1.5
22/04/2012 18:25:00.705 : Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 22/04/2012 18:25:00 raindaystart = 0 rain counter = 0

You're also getting a lot of 'lost sensor contact', which may well be related. You need to check your sensors, perhaps a loose connection or a battery problem.

Yes I note that there is loads of lost sensor contact. But why problems only with rain data? I think my transmitter not good for use at all. All batteries totally new energizer. Transmitter from console located maximum 3 meters away.

Because rain is a count, held in the transmitter, so can be reset.
