Favourites

With the recent addition of "Email Subscriptions", the concept of member "Email Alerts" has been modified. This concept has been renamed as "Favourites".

You will now see this reflected in a number of places across the website. The pin-tack at the top-right of the station page has been renamed as shown on image top-right.

After pin-tacking at least one of your favourite stations, you will see those stations listed on the left navigation panel (as shown to the left). You can also delete favourites by using the "Manage Favourites" screen, accessible from the user actions panel.

You will still receive email alerts for each item in your favourites list, and in the future you will be able to do easier comparison graphing and reporting based on the stations in your favourites list.

Email Subscriptions



The new email subscription function allows you to add email addresses to an alert list for a station. Each time rainfall is recorded at that station, an email will be sent to email address on the list. This allows you to keep track of rain at stations of interest to you, or to keep friends and family up to date with your rainfall.


To use email subscriptions, look for the link on the top right of the station details screen.

On the next screen you will be able to enter an email and press the "Subscribe" button.

Note: The email alerts are delayed by 10 minutes after rainfall has been entered. If additional rainfall is recorded for the same station within that 10 minute window, then only one email alert is sent. This email will contain the details of all entries made in that window.
