* update the highs and lows in [[month.ini]] by choosing ''This month's records'' from the '''Edit''' menu. See [[Diags]] for current and previous values of high or low in the current month or the immediate preceding month if the rogue was recorded less than 10 days ago.
* update the highs and lows month-by-month in [[monthlyalltime.ini]] by choosing ''Monthly records'' from the '''Edit''' menu. Click the ''Help'' button for specific instructions on using ''Reset'' and the two ''Copy'' column header buttons in this ''Monthly Records (Highs and Lows) Editor'' to action all rows.
* '' '''Note''' in each of above 4 editing screens you can:
*# see the currently stored extremes, and optionally ''Reset'' (row by row) to pre-editing value and timestamp.
*# load the dayfile.txt to view extremes derived from those figures (after your correction of the rogue values) and
*# optionally ''Copy'' (row by row) the logged values (and associated date/time information) into the relevant .ini file.
*# click the ''Help'' button for detailed instructions on using ''The Records (Highs and Lows) Editors''.
*# store your revised figures by clicking ''OK'' (or abandon all your edits by clicking ''Cancel'').
(Each of these screens is a text editor, and works best when at full screen).''
* create the relevant monthly and/or annual NOAA style report by choosing NOAA Monthly Report or NOAA Annual Report from the View menu, then select the required period using the selectors. Click the Update Display button to see various statistics (including mean temperature) calculated. Generation of complete NOAA reports takes most information from dayfile.txt (based on rollover to rollover meteorological days), except average wind speed (always based on midnight to midnight days) and dominant wind direction (both of these it calculates from the monthly log files) for period in question. Finally press Save button to store the new or amended report.
Ideally, you will subsequently try to edit the rogue data for the particular time it was logged; see [[Monthly_log_files#Correcting_any_logged_data_problems]], but correcting the daily summary in dayfile.txt must always be the priority.
