*While Cumulus is running (not when catching up with stored past values from the station log), it will ignore large increases in rainfall. (See [[#.28Invented_rain.29_Error_prevention_by_Spike_removal|below]]).
Because many positive values are realistic, Cumulus generally will accept those odd increases as a result of accidental knocking of a tipping bucket gauge, due to wind effects on the gauge, or even due to the station electronics generating a rogue reading. The sub-answers below explain how to correct such errors.
=== (Invented rain) Error in today's total ===
#optionally stop Cumulus and edit [[today.ini]] to change the ''LastTip=''(look up previous value in a recently backed up today.ini) parameter.▼
=== (Invented rain) Error in date/time of 'Last Tip' ===
#Remember that 'ConsecutiveDryDays' and 'ConsecutiveWetDays' do not include today.▼
▲
=== (Invented rain) Error in number of consecutive days with or without rain ===
# The counts are for completed days, not part days. The threshold for whether a day counts as a wet day is set in the parameter [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station|RainDayThreshold= -1]], and the parameter [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station|NoFlashWetDryDayRecords=1]] is also relevent.
▲# Remember that 'ConsecutiveDryDays' and 'ConsecutiveWetDays' do not include today, they reflect the daily rainfall amounts stored in the [[dayfile.txt|daily summary log]].
