Which weather station? One thing that comes to mind is if it's a Davis, it might not be configured correctly for a metric tipping mechanism (you can get 0.2mm or 1/100 of an inch which works out as 0.254mm - which would show up as 0.3 rounded)

If you go into setup mode on your VP2 console and move through the screens - what do you see for Rain collector?
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/79754 ... =19#manual
- Enter Setup Mode by pressing DONE and the down arrow (-) at the sametime.
- Press DONE to move to the next screen in the Setup Mode
- Press BAR to display the previous screen in the Setup Mode.
- Exit Setup Mode by pressing and holding DONE until the Current Weather screen displays.

So if you just change it to 0.2mm on the console it should fix it I think.

There must be a weatherlink setting somewhere?
