Used to hold the information that feeds the [[Webtags#Monthly]] for the 'thismonthT.htm' web template.
These lows and highs and their timestamps can be seen by picking the ''Highs and Lows - This month'' screen from the '''View''' menu, see [[File:Cumulus_View_menu.jpg]]. Like [[alltime.ini]] the file has section headings with lists of properties (attribute = value). For more information on this file see in the Cumulus help file, in the section “Data log file format”.

The stored values can be corrected using the ''This month's records'' screen on the '''Edit''' menu. Date, Time and Decimal formatting is as per your regional settings on the PC running Cumulus. If you cannot find the file [[FAQ#I_can.E2.80.99t_find_my_data_files.21|see this FAQ]].
 
These lows and highs and their timestamps can be seen by picking the ''Highs and Lows - This month'' screen from the '''View''' menu, see [[File:Cumulus_View_menu.jpg]]screenshot above. Like [[alltime.ini]] the file has section headings with lists of properties (attribute = value). For more information on this file see in the Cumulus help file, in the section “Data log file format”. In Cumulus MX, at the end of each month, the final ''month.ini'' for that month is renamed '''monthYYYYMM.ini''' (where YYYY denotes the year using 4 digits and MM denotes the month using two digits) e.g. ''month201703.ini'', thus ensuring that statistics for all past months remain accessible. (There is no simple way to achieve a similar retention automatically in Cumulus 1, although an extremely complicated workaround has been achieved on one site).
 
The stored values can be corrected (in Cumulus 1) using the ''This month's records'' screen on the '''Edit''' menu. Date, Time and Decimal formatting is as per your regional settings on the PC running Cumulus. If you cannot find the file [[FAQ#I_can.E2.80.99t_find_my_data_files.21|see this FAQ]]. With MX, you would need to use an external text editor that does not add any additional control characters (see forum for suggestions).
