The soil moisture level was at 100% yesterday when I checked it in the late afternoon, I woke up early this morning and the streets were soaked with puddles everywhere and I had a R…

:partying_face: That’s awesome changing to a local weather station now matches your empirical observations. Glad you smartly caught the inconsistency. Happy to help!
