Hi!
I noticed that the annual rainfall stats from weewx doesn't include the 29th Feb in its calculations, easy to understand why.

PS Overall though really grateful of this useful software

Hello, Roger

Can you be more specific about what you're seeing? What stats are you referring to? The tag $year.rain.sum? Something else? How is it not matching your expectations?

When I select yearly summary on the weewx page: weewx/NOAA/NOAA-2020.txt the monthly mean precipitation listed there all agree with my calculations except for February. I tracked down the reason was that the rainfall amount on 29 Feb is not included in the Feb mean printed in NOAA-2020.txt Does that make sense?

Still not following. What do you mean by "monthly mean precipitation"? Do you mean the monthly total precipitation? 

If so, what do you mean by "agree with my calculations"? How did you calculate February's total? Directly from the database? Or, are you saying that the total given for February on the page NOAA-2020.txt does not match the total given on NOAA-2020-02.txt? Or, something else?

It would help if you included the NOAA-2020.txt and NOAA-2020-02.txt pages. Or, even better, if they are online, include a link.

There just isn't enough information to diagnose the problem.

After some more analysis I found the problem was on my side not yours so apologies for this. All is OK now from my perspective, 
Regards
Roger
