Title: What is the Map Reset Time?
Post by: Deano on April 27, 2012, 11:28:15 AM

Hi all,
Is the map using a 9am rain reset time?

The map system is just reading the data from the individual weather stations and relying on whatever settings have already been established at each different site in their own software.  Ie, the weather data is displayed as exactly what each station has at that moment - to date for that day.  Most stations, as far as I know, are midnight rotation, however, mine as a small few others, is a 9am NZ old std reset time.

I suspect that at least some of the stations are showing a 9am even though the station software is set to midnight (mine is one of them)

Thanks Brian, I had forgotten about the extra midnight tag.

There has been a slight change to the script now so all Weather Display stations will be showing a midnight reset, all other stations will show whatever the station is set up to report.
