Hello,
I look in vain the tag that would allow me to know the date and time of the last rain.
Thank you

Your query prompted me to upload a search list extension I've been using for several months now.


It allows you to do things like

<p>It last rained at $time_at('rain>0') ($time_since('rain>0') ago).</p>

which results in
<p>It last rained 20 June 2020 (81 days, 1 hour, 35 minutes ago).</p>
It can be used for any SQL expression, not just time since the last rain.

Merci Didier, le résultat est le même et l'installation de la solution précédente plus aisée.
Beau site !

En tout cas sur Raspberry (Donc Debian), c'est assez simple et il n'est pas nécessaire de redémarrer WeeWX
J'ai justement vu le skin de ton site (https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown) et je me demandais s'il était facile de le franciser
À te lire

Thank you. Although Ozstrayla may have to wait until it can be utilised. Rain in the last 7 days has been 456.2mm (18")

Good heavens! I live in a rainy place, but it would take us 6 months to get that much rain!

Yes, after the fire disaster, this deluge is followed in world news. You
do not live in a quiet location!
I am well in Belgium

Have installed the time-since and it works well thanks.
It is flooding here in Australia so I have to wait until the rain stops to really test it as it always says 😊

Last rain was:
23/03/21 08:40:00
0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes ago


Thanks again.

Maybe you should change it to tell you when it was last not raining!

I'm reminded of Ray Bradbury's wonderful and chilling short story, "All
Summer in a Day."

Free online and a quick read.  I still get shivers when I think of it.

First I've heard of it, and you're right: a great short read. Thanks for the tip!

Now that’s a name I've not heard in a long time.  I remember the story well, but had forgotten the title.  Thanks for the pointer!

The other one that comes to mind in these kinds of conditions is “Sometimes a Great Notion.”  A much longer read, but well worth it.

Being in the Blue Mountains, Oz. My thoughts drifted towards Dorothy MacKellar, My Country;
".....
Of rugged mountain ranges
Of droughts and flooding rain
...."

A favorite of mine is In the Wide Land, by A. R. Ammons:

Having split up the chaparral
blasting my sight
the wind said
  You know I'm
    the result of
forces beyond my control
I don't hold it against you
I said
It's all right I understand

Those pressure bowls and cones
the wind said
are giants in their continental gaits
I know I said I know
they're blind giants
Actually the wind said I'm
  if anything beneficial
    resolving extremes
filling up lows with highs
No I said you don't have
to explain
It's just the way things are

Blind in the wide land I
turned and risked my feet
to loose stones and sudden
alterations of height

OMG, that is a book. 50 pages of stream-of-consciousness, leading into a fabulous tale.
