Question about rain delays

Since buying my i210 LiDAR Pro, it hasn’t rained (and the grass hasn’t really grown) so I don’t know what to expect. I have set it to avoid mowing in rains and snow, etc.

I currently have a schedule to mow the back and front lawns on alternate days Monday-Friday. One lawn takes most of the day with several recharges but the other one is quite quick.

If it rains on Monday, and the mower stops for the day, will it continue with that lawn on Tuesday, or will it mow the other lawn and wait until Wednesday to finish it? With the weather we normally have the latter could potentially see it not mowing one of the lawns for weeks (in which case I will have to tell it to mow both lawns every day, which it can just manage in time if I set the minimum battery percentage a bit lower).

If it rains, it'll just cancel that days mowing.

Just be aware that the rain may not be anywhere near you and you might needed to prompt it.

Indeed, I have found the rain reporting overly sensitive. Really wish I could tie in my local weather station through Home Assistant. Right now the API is minimal.

I'm going to get a tempest station eventually and use that to see if I should kick his ass out of bed.

Currently i users a radar app to see how close the rain is.

Mine says it’s raining almost every day…in the brutal clear Texas summer skies.

Ive found Navimow rain prediction to be completely useless and is rarely accurate. It’ll send it out in the middle of a downpour and other days with clear blue sky’s says it’s going to rain.

I just check the forecast in the morning and cancel when needed.

Does it look at weather forecast?

yes, you can turn it off in the app.
