      @nikarayanpouya Hi, snow precipitation is in centimeters, the rest is displayed in milimeters and type is described in the documentation.

        @Suty Snow Percip being centimeters actually worsens the problem because according to documentation "percip" should include both "convpercip" and "snowpercip" but as you can see in my example "snowpercip" number is bigger than "precip" number so it could be either that the numbers your giving me is wrong or the explanation for "precip" in the documentation.

                @nikarayanpouya data in this post is exactly from the request response except the percip numbers are multiplied by 1000 but as you see it doesn't matter if the snow percip is in centimeters or millimeter or meter either way it shouldnt be more than percip number according to your documents.

                    here is the units object you are giving me in the requests response body and remeber as i said before the percip numbers i gave you

                    @nikarayanpouya said in Precip Fields In Premium Point Forecast API:

                    the percip numbers are multiplied by 1000

                    all three of them .

                    the enitre weather section of my web site is showing wrong data beacause of this problem and i need to fix the problem ASAP so your fast response would be much appreciated.

                      @nikarayanpouya Unfortunately, we take these data from weather models and we cannot affect these outputs.

                                      @nikarayanpouya Hi, I am sorry about the delay. After further discussions, there is no bug in these data. Parameter past3hprecip contains convective and snow ones, however they cannot be added together since, both of them can contain convective or snow ones as well. 07af0f2c-31a2-44ea-b77c-2ed56f5da3b8-image.png

                                        @Suty according to this diagram your data has still problem because if look closely the number you gave me for snow percip is larger than percip but the percip should be larger than conv and snow percip according to your diagram thats only concluded if the snow is millimeters if the snow percip is in centimeters (if it is then your units in response are wrong) the problem actually worsen and the gap between the numbers is higher.

                                          1 cm of snow gives 1 mm of water equivalent.
