If you prefer to edit the start date and keep the ''recordsT.htm'' template label "Records began on" unchanged, the method is to stop Cumulus, and amend the ''StartDate='' line in [[cumulus.ini]] within the main Cumulus folder before re-starting Cumulus, but (in case you make a mistake) back up everything first!
=== Cumulus Wind Speed Terminology ===
How wind speeds relate to various weather stations is explained in FAQ. Basically there are 3 values stored:
#Gust - the highest wind speed over a particular period (can be selected, but defaults to 10 minutes),
#Average - the moving average of wind speed measurements over a particular period (can be selected, but defaults to 10 minutes),
#Latest - the most recent (wind speed or gust speed) measurement.
