Patrick, I don't see anything necessarily unusual with your rain. WeeWX records rainfall on a per interval basis not a cumulative basis. So if during a loop period there is one tip of your rain gauge that will record (approximately) 0.2mm of rain in the loop packet for that period. If there is no further rain (or tips of your rain gauge) then the next loop packet will be 0.0. Also, it could be raining steadily but you might see a loop packet with rainfall but the next one or two (or more) may not. How often you see rain in a loop packet is dependent on how heavy the rain is, how big your rain gauge bucket is and how often you sample the rain gauge.
The best way to test your gauge and the driver is to manually tip your rain gauge while weeWX is running. As long as you take note of how many tips you do you should be able to tell if the correct number of tips (and therefore 'rain') comes through to weeWX.
