===NOAA reports in MX===
Steve Loft's beta 3.0.0 did not include any code for generating NOAA reports, therefore there is no connection between the way that Cumulus MX from release 3.1.0 generates the reports and the way the legacy Cumulus 1 generated reports.
If you change threshold settings for degree days in MX, that only affects subsequent daily summary log entries, so again although the report shows the latest thresholds, these might not apply to all information on the report. You would need to use Mark's [[Calculate_Missing_Values#CreateMissing.exe|Create Missing utility]] to approximately recalculate all the daily summary log (dayfile.txt) entries before you could manually rerun report generation based entirely on the new thresholds.
===Derivation of figures in Monthly NOAA report in MX===
Mark's '''monthly report''' uses:
#Daily [[average temperature]] (see below as depends on release)
#[[Heat/cold_degree_days_and_Chill_hours|Cooling degree days]] (taken from field 42 of the daily summary log)
#Daily [[Rain measurement|Rainfall]] (taken from field 15 of the daily summary log)
#[[Wind_measurement|Average Wind Speed]]
#* (apparently from 3.12.0 calculated from the wind speeds recorded in [[Standard log files|log file for current month]]; MX has changed its processing so that several derivatives that were calculated from every reading received from weather station are now calculated from the spot readings that MX logs)
#* (apparently for 3.1.0 to 3.11.9, calculated from '''Wind run''' in field 17 of daily summary log, by dividing by 24 - the number of hours in a day,)
#Highest daily average wind speed and time (taken from fields 18 and 19 of the daily summary log)
#Dominant Direction (taken from field 40 of the daily summary log)
