I believe the twitter extension pulls fields directly out of the current archive record and not via the report generation system. So this means you are stuck with those fields available in the current archive record. What you have in terms of rain in the current archive record will be very much dependent on your station and the driver. Try running WeeWX directly <http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Running_directly> and you should then have the contents of your loop packets and archive records displayed on the console. Take note of the archive record, it will occur every archive period minutes and will start with "REC:", for example:
REC: 2019-11-01 09:20:00 AEST (1572564000) altimeter: 31.259901706, appTemp: 28.3753416884, barometer: 31.09999005, cloudbase: 1394.82615043, dateTime: 1572564000.0, dewpoint: 27.129724214, ET: None, heatindex: 32.6029156307, humidex: 32.6029156307, inDewpoint: 31.0793788523, inHumidity : 29.999602004, inTemp: 63.000198998, interval: 5, maxSolarRad: None, outHumidity: 79.9997015004, outTemp: 32.6029156307, pressure: 31.09999005, radiation: 579.093626341, rain: 0.0, rainRate: 0.0, usUnits: 1, UV: 8.10731076878, windchill: 32.6029156307, windDir: 359.996776356, windGust: 0.000177004706815, windGustDir: 359.994689859, windrun: 0.0, windSpeed: 4.97499397461e-05 you can use any of the fields in that archive record in the twitter extension. You might be lucky and have a 24 hour rain field or a 'rain since midnight' field. In the example above the only rain related fields are rain and rainRate.
