Yes, see the 'format' parameter in the help for the web tags.

I'm not familiar with this technique; hopefully someone else can help.

You don't give a link to your site nor tell us whose flavour of AJAX code you are using !

If the AJAX code is parsing realtime.txt then there are no entries for (rain) since midnight, or (rain) last 24.

However if your station 'day' begins midnight, then there is rain today entry (#10 or array[9])

<#LastRainTipISO format="dd/mmm/yy"> (note the syntax) would give you (e.g.) 31/Jan/12

If you want "13:45 on 21 Jan" you need

<#LastRainTipISO format="hh:mm 'on' dd mmm">

or

<#LastRainTipISO format="hh:mm 'on' d mmm">

if you don't want a leading zero on single-digit days.

hi steve thanks.
got one small issue it seems to be putting a slightly bigger background colour on the display for the date.
www.dazmather.co.uk

<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td>Rainfall Last Hour</td>
<td><span id="rhour"></span> <#rainunit></td>
<td>Last rainfall</td>
<td><#LastRainTipISO format="hh:mm 'on' dd mmmm"><td>
</tr>
thanks again Darron

There's an error in your html:

<td><#LastRainTipISO format="hh:mm 'on' dd mmmm"><td>

should be

<td><#LastRainTipISO format="hh:mm 'on' dd mmmm"></td>
