Hi,
Yes definitely needs a little maintenance.  The original schema was for
metar  data and later expanded for bbc data.  As weel as getting the
extra items add for weather stations I would also like to get UV,pollen
and pollution levels in there too, as they are now included in the bbc
rss feeds.
This is all quite good timing as I'm currently working on a  new version
of my weather app.
KT has posted a copy of a weatehrdisplay message, if you could post a
copy of a cumulus message i'll get them combined and update the dcos.
Back to the original question, a Rain=  field seems to be the way forward!

<p>Hi Paul,<br>
<br>
I think the weather schema needs a bit of maintenance - I'm guessing
<br>
it was created to meet the needs of particular weather station hardware
<br>
that probably didn't have a rain sensor. It also doesn't handle min and
<br>
max reports and periodic trends eg barometric. I'll try and chat with
<br>
James as he worked with the guys at 'Weather Display' for their <br>
implementation and it may already have changes. I did check on the mi4
<br>
website re any updated schema too. <br>
<br>
I have sent a couple of emails re 'Cumulus' to Steve at SandaySoft
<br>
to solicit his input and hopefully to get some extra data included -
<br>
particularly as I have my Maplin station installed now - and I believe
<br>
James has one too.<br>
<br>
In xAP there is a great way to report all telemetry/sensor data and
<br>
that is the TSC schema - which handles units and min/max etc - but it's
<br>
considerably more complex to implement as it is a two way schema - and
<br>
currently Cumulus and Weather Display are both xAP senders only.<br>

&gt; I notice that in the Class=weather.<wbr>report there is no
