Quick start

1. Record rain

From a directory where you want the database file to live:

rain add 8.5

This creates or updates MyWeather.sqlite in the current directory (see Data model).

2. Pick another database directory

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

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

3. Plot recent totals

rain graph --size 20

4. Import from WeeWX

With a WeeWX day archive SQLite file:

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