I am running my WRF simulation for 4 days from 9 June 2025 to 12 June 2025.While the simulation is running and all wrfout files are getting generated after every three hours, I don't see generation of wrfrst files.I am uploading my namelist.input file, please check.

Hello Gulnaaz,

Check restart_interval in the namelist.input file, value must be in minutes.

Are wrfrst files empty?
My files are getting generated after changing the restart_interval in namelist.input but the files are of size 0K.

wrfrst* files should not be empty. Is wrf.exe completing? Do you have rsl* files that show that WRF was successful? If not, try setting debug_level=0. This is turned off by default because it rarely provides useful information and, instead, outputs a lot of junk to the rsl* files, making them extremely large and difficult to read. After you do that, if WRF still fails, or if it runs successfully, but the wrfrst* files continue to be 0-sized, please attach the latest version of namelist.input along with all the rsl* files, packaged into a single *.tar or zipped file.
