Correct, I don't have a solar radiation sensor. I'm using the Seasons skin with weewx 3.9.1, so the graph appearing depends on radiation data showing up, which just happened as of the thunder storm. It certainly doesn't look like the ISS was hit, but who knows what sort of stuff was induced into the thing. The rain cone was cleaned not long ago, and as I said, recorded rain in the last week, so it worked recently. I do have a console, and it's reporting the 900 W/m, so it isn't weewx. I'll try re-powering the console and see if that helps, and will update. I'll also try mucking with the tipper and cone tomorrow and see if there's anything there. The whole setup has been rock solid for quite some time (~3 yrs).
