Consecutive Dry/Wet Days

mcrossley · **Posted:** Sun Aug 28, 2011 12:54 pm

Whilst we are on the subject, is it a 'standard' that these values do not include today?

Whilst ConsectiveDryDays cannot include today, Wet days could - if it has already reached the threshold.

I don't know; but I reasoned that since you don't know until the end of the day whether it's a dry day or not, it made sense not to update either of them until the end of the day.

It looks like I have a small problemette with the ConsecutiveRainDays, it missing some days in b1008.

From my dayfile...

23/8 = 0.0mm
24/8 = 0.9mm
25/8 = 12.7mm
26/8 = 2.1mm
27/8 = 9.7mm
28/8 = 4.1mm

(Today 29/9 = 4.7mm so far)

But ConsecutiveRainDays is reporting "3", does it not read the dayfile on startup as the 3 day count is correct from the last restart of Cumulus - when I installed it on the 26/8.

No, it stores the current counts in today.ini and adjusts them as necessary at the end of the day.

I am having SEVERE problems putting these features into my site,

The longest wet & longest dry days I mean, actually putting the code into the page.

This is what I currently have in my "rainfall" area of records

<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td width="4%"></td>
<td>Last Rain</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td width="4%" id="HighRainRateRecordSet"></td>
<td>Highest Rain Rate</td>
<td id="rrateM"></td>
</tr>
<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td width="4%" id="HighHourlyRainRecordSet"></td>
<td>Highest Hourly Rainfall</td>
<td id="rfallhH"></td>
</tr>
<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td width="4%" id="HighDailyRainRecordSet"></td>
<td>Highest Daily Rainfall</td>
<td id="rfallH"></td>
</tr>
<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td width="4%" id="HighMonthlyRainRecordSet"></td>
<td>Highest Monthly Rainfall</td>
<td id="rfallmH"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

But for the life of me, i cannot figure out how to put the longest wet/dry into code then into this,

Thanks Steve, today.ini adjusted - I looked through Cumulus.ini a few times! :lol:

Look at the supplied todayT.htm file (it's in the 'originals' folder if you opted not to install it).

Rob,

I added 2 new rows to my ThisMonthYear.html page. It comprises 3 columns, same as your page. See if this helps.

<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td>Longest Dry Period</td>
<td><#MonthLongestDryPeriod> days to <#MonthLongestDryPeriodD format="d mmmm"</td>
<td><#YearLongestDryPeriod> days to <#YearLongestDryPeriodD format="d mmmm"</td>
</tr>
<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td>Longest Wet Period</td>
<td><#MonthLongestWetPeriod> days to <#MonthLongestWetPeriodD format="d mmmm"</td>
<td><#YearLongestWetPeriod> days to <#YearLongestWetPeriodD format="d mmmm"</td>
</tr>

The format command is optional.

Just tried that with mine, and I forgot, Cumulus isn't processing my records page, Paul set it up a different way (he did explain, but me being as thick as two short ones....) So the tags wont work on it (as you can see on it now lol)

Steve, thanks for that, almost got there, just got to try and find what created that "gap" now

Rob,

The code I supplied is for ThisMonthYear page, not all-time records.

Here is the code for your all-time records...

<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td width="5%"></td>
<td class="main_table_text_labels"> Longest Dry Period</td>
<td class="right_align_indented"><#LongestDryPeriod> days</td>
<td class="right_align_indented"><#TLongestDryPeriod format="'to' d mmmm yyyy"></td>
</tr>
<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td width="5%"></td>
<td class="main_table_text_labels"> Longest Wet Period</td>
<td class="right_align_indented"><#LongestWetPeriod> days</td>
<td class="right_align_indented"><#TLongestWetPeriod format="'to' d mmmm yyyy"></td>
</tr>

The first <td> entry in each section stores the record light. I don't currently have code in there for these 2 new records. You might want to use the above but use your own code for the record light. Hope that makes sense.

PS. You have multiple links in your sig but none to your site. One would be helpful.

Hi Steve
why not put the value in dayfile so if it rained in the middle of the day
you wood not have to wait all day for Consecutive Dry days to rest

Rob,

Sorry. Didn't notice you have only 2 columns for record information (plus the record light column).

This code combines the period and date into a single column for both wet and dry periods...

<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td width="5%"></td>
<td class="main_table_text_labels"> Longest Dry Period</td>
<td class="right_align_indented"><#LongestDryPeriod> days to <#TLongestDryPeriod format="'to' d mmmm yyyy"></td>
</tr>
<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td width="5%"></td>
<td class="main_table_text_labels"> Longest Wet Period</td>
<td class="right_align_indented"><#LongestWetPeriod> days to <#TLongestWetPeriod format="'to' d mmmm yyyy"></td>
</tr>

Yep, done that mate

(Month year) sorted, thank you SO much

Records, its still showing as the tags, rather than data, I think this is because as i said, the records page is not processd via cumulus?

RayProudfoot · **Posted:** Mon Aug 29, 2011 2:57 pm

Rob,

I can see you're making progress. The ThisYear values don't look right though.

To get the new records text the same replace class="td_rainfall_data" with class="td_temperature_data"
