Precipitation and evaporation
Current measured values ( 0:00 o'clock)
The precipitation is measured in mm water level. 1 mm corresponds in this case to an amount of 1 liter of water which fell onto 1 mē. In the table the daily sums and of the rain period and as well as the rain rate are performed (measure for the intensity of the rain) are given.
For the evaporation the term "evapotranspiration" is also common. It represents a (calculated) measure of the evaporation depending on temperature, air humidity and wind speed. The specification occurs in mm via the day sums.
The leaf wetness varies between 0 and 15, where 0 stands for a dry leaf. In addition the leaf wetness is well suitable for determine the starting time of rain or fog.

In winter a heating melts firm preciptitatiom as snow or sleet and measured the corresponding water. In this case 1 cm of fresh-fallen snow can supply only 1 mm of water according to its consistence.
History
Course of the day
The recording of the amount of rain a and the rain rate starts with small amounts of precipitation a little later, as the actual beginning of the precipitation activity. This is reasonable in the measuring system, at which a certain minimum water quantity must be available.
Last days and last month
From the amount of precipitation, the rain rate and the evaporation (evapotranspiration) a representation occurs for the last three days as well as for the last month:
Climate comparision
In the table the measured values are compared with the amount of precipitation of the last 12 months with the climatic averages for the region around Leipzig (Source: Deutscher Wetterdienst). The month averages are formed from the daily totals and averaged over the years. In addition a comparison of the precipitation sums with the evaporation sums occurs. All measured values are in mm indicated.
