Missing Weather / Watering after large amount of rainfall

I've noticed this a number of times. 

I have my own weather station and is linked to WUnderground and I have my own API key.

I see at night  when my watering kicks off ( 8pm ) that the current day's weather is missing.  Also in the screenshots, we already had 1.2 inches of rain logged and it's showing correctly, but Rain Machine is trying to still water my flowerbeds at 126% when I feel it shouldn't be watering at all with 1.2 inches already logged for the day

    Hi, Andrew
    Please empty your RainMachine iOS app cache and load the RainMachine data again by accessing: Settings - System Settings - Advanced Settings - Clear Local Cache
    You may need to force close the RainMachine iOS app and open it again to refresh the data.

    Hope that helps

    Hi. I tried your instructions. Weather is missing again this evening. It’s there in the morning, but disappears a few hours before more watering starts in the evening at 8pm

    Hi, Andrew
    Would you please check the RainMachine Web app and see if reports correctly for the day that is missing from the RainMachine iOS app?

    Thank you
    Julian

    Yes, It looks like it's missing as well.  It's showing the high to be 32, which it was 94 today.  Looks like a default of some sort.  

    The ET is also missing for today

    Hi, Andrew
    Would you please disable and then re-enable your WUnderground weather service from RainMachine - Settings - System Settings - Weather.
    Also, please check that the WUnderground webpage for your weather stations shows the current day weather info.

    Thanks
    Julian

    Hi.  Disabled WUnderground, re-enable.  Same result.  The WUnderground webpage looks all correct.

    I've noticed tonight while looking at the logs.  The row in bold is saying it's missing the min/max temps.
