If the problem occurred because Cumulus wasn't able to download the data from the station's logger when you started it up in the morning (or perhaps you turned off the 'use data logger' setting for some reason), you can get it to try again by 'rewinding' to the time when you started Cumulus, and allowing it to try again. Cumulus takes a copy of the current files each time it starts up, and puts them in a folder in the backup folder in the Cumulus installation.

If you are editing '''yesterday's highs and lows''', the totals (including RG11 rain but not standard rain), highs, and lows are held in [[yesterday.ini]]. However, you probably also need to edit [[Dayfile.txt#Editing_daily_summary_in_Cumulus|dayfile.txt]], as many of the values should have been written to that file.
