I wanted to put expected total daily accumulation on my dashboard. I planned on using this sensor below (see screenshot). Note that it is “0d”, meaning today’s daily. Here’s the full blub from their docs:
precipAccumulation
Only on
hourly
anddaily
. The total amount of liquid precipitation expected to fall over an hour or a day expressed in centimetres or inches depending on the requestedunits
. For day 0, this is the precipitation during the remaining hours of the day.
Take note of the last line:
this is the precipitation during the remaining hours of the day.
Well crap! I want the total for the day, including past hours!
So how can I get the full TOTAL amount of precip over a whole day, INCLUDING previous hours of the day? I don’t think summing up each hour’s prediction from this graph would give me what I want because it is based on prediction and not reality. Reality should be used for past hours, no?
