    After having dinner and popping to check temps etc i notice Cumulus was flashing new record to me.
    On checking it says i had 3 new records, very, very strange on a day like this.
    Below is the 3 new records it says i have, notice they are almost are all at the same time:
    dewpoint 15.1.12.jpg rainfall 15.10.12.jpg humidity 15.1.12.jpg
    Any thoughts why this happened?

    whats your station - is it wireless and was it cold at the time or has it been dark./overcast for a while?
    looks like a corrupt signal back to the base unit - does it show on the console and can you edit the datafile?

    No problems with the power today.
    Watson W-8681 wireless. It has a solar powered unit.
    The error log says
    This was after the initial problem and no other error signals. Luckily i can edit the data file.
