=== (Invented rain and) Other rain figures ===
Note that other rain figures, such as 'rain last hour' and, 'rain last 24 hours' and 'rain since midnight' depend on a sensible progression of the rain counter, so it's not easy to correct this; it's easier to wait until the erroneous figure is far enough in the past so as not to affect the calculation. If you really do want to try to correct it; you would need to stop Cumulus, then find and edit multiple field 11 (assuming date is field 0) the Cumulus 'rain counter' values in the [[monthly_log_files]] in the current monthly log file so they are correct relative to the current value of the rain counter (i.e. the latest one logged). Note that if you're using a midnight start of day then you don't need the 'rain since midnight' figure anyway, as it is normally the same as 'rain today', and that figure is much more easily corrected.
