#edit the total for the relevant day in dayfile.txt, (using the dayfile.txt editor available in Cumulus 1 on the edit menu, use any external text editor for MX).
#optionally edit yesterday's total (which is only held temporarily for display purposes) in [[today.ini]], while Cumulus is stopped.
=== (Invented rain) Error in Consecutive day count ===
Remember the consecutive day count refers to completed days, both 'ConsecutiveRainDays' and 'ConsecutiveDryDays' exclude today.
The optional [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station|RainDayThreshold]] parameter in Cumulus.ini determines if a minimum rainfall threshold amount is applied to what counts as a rain day.
To edit the count reported by Cumulus, stop Cumulus and edit [[Today.ini#Editing_rainfall_in_today.ini_within_Cumulus| the today.ini log file]] by changing the integer value. Remember, that invented rain can affect monthly, annual, all-time, and monthly_all_time extreme records, and you may need to [[#How_do_I_correct_my_all-time_.28or_monthly_all-time.29_records.3F|edit these]].
=== (Invented rain) Error in total or high rainfall rate for any day before today ===
Just edit the total or rate for the relevant day in [[Dayfile.txt#Editing_the_file_or_other_Manipulation_outside_Cumulus|dayfile.txt]], using the [[Cumulus_Screenshots#File.2FEdit.2FHelp_Menu|the daily summary log file - dayfile.txt]] editor on the Cumulus 1 edit menu (or a suitable external editor that does not add 'BOM' for Cumulus MX). Don't edit the daily summary file close to roll-over time.
=== (Invented rain) Error in total, or extremes, for this month and/or this year ===
