# 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.
