= Safely editing the daily summary log =
At the end of each meteorological day, Cumulus uses information held in [[today.ini]] to write a new line into [[dayfile.txt]], before it resets '''today.ini''' ready for the new day. As discussed in [[Correcting_Extremes]], it is possible for rogue values to be read from a weather station and propagate into various log files, so this article will help you make any necessary corrections.
The fields contained in the daily summary log are listed in the [[Dayfile.txt#List_of_Fields]]. That page contains a lot of information, and to avoid confusion information about editing this log has been moved here. Both Cumulus 1 and 3 (2 did not) now provide editors where you can see what is in your dayfile.txt log, and if you click on a particular line you can edit the fields in that line, or indeed delete that line. The functionality available to you, depends on the flavour of Cumulus you are running (and which release of that flavour you have installed).
