Hello Tom and thank you for your response.
[StdWXCalculate]
[[Calculations]]
...
[[Delta]]
[[[rain]]]
input = dayRain
This will calculate the rain difference between two records in weewx sql
based on the principle that the counter is reset to zero at midnight ->
PERFECT FOR THE RAIN 24H !
Small additional question: if we wish to constantly calculate the
difference between two records values of a meter which *never* resets to
zero (such as an electricity or water meter), how should we proceed?
THANKS
