The files '''today.ini''' and '''yesterday.ini''' are used by Cumulus to store the Highs and Lows (and their timestamps) for key parameters as reached on each of the two days. These files are located in the
The today file is written to throughout the current day as any new High or
If you close down and restart Cumulus during the day it will read these files at startup, so it can resume tracking extremes of the key parameters.▼
▲The today file is written to throughout the current day as new High or Lows for the day at reached. At the end of a day (either midnight, or 9am depending on your configuration), the today.ini file is rolled-over to become yesterday.ini and a new today.ini is created.
Normally you would not need to edit these files, however rarely you may wish to [[FAQ#My_station_invented_some_rain_that_didn.27t_really_occur.2C_and_I_want_to_set_it_to_zero_.28or_some_other_figure.29 | edit the rain data]] if there has been a quirk in your weather station reporting during the day and the figure is abnormally inflated. '''Note:''' If you do edit either of these files, you must close Cumulus down first!▼
