Hmm, let me throw a question back at you. Why store dayRain in the database?
The restx uploaders will use dayRain if available in the current archive record otherwise they will manually calculate the value (dayRain does not need to be saved to database for it to be available in the current archive record). Today's rainfall (or for that matter any days rainfall) can be displayed in a report using a tag based on the rain field, again no need for historical dayRain. By all means have your driver pass dayRain through, it will save a few milliseconds or less each restx upload, but I don't see much other use for historical dayRain data.
