Quick start

1. Record rain

rainlog add 8.5

This creates or updates rainlog.sqlite in ~/.local/share/rainlog/ (see Data model).

2. Pick another database directory

rainlog add 3.2 --db-dir ~/weather-data

The file is always named rainlog.sqlite inside --db-dir.

3. Plot recent totals

rainlog graph --size 20

4. Import from WeeWX

With a WeeWX day archive SQLite file:

rainlog weewx-import --weewx-db /path/to/weewx.sdb
