Today's totals, highs and lows (and yesterday's rain total) are held in [[today.ini]] in the Cumulus data folder. Yesterday's totals (including RG11 rain but not standard rain), highs and lows are held in [[yesterday.ini]]. Follow the cross-references if you are unsure which parameter is what. To change any values, stop Cumulus and edit the file(s) in a text editor. Be sure to keep any date and time formats the same. If you are editing yesterday's highs and lows, you might also need to edit [[dayfile.txt]], as the same values will probably have been written to that file.

If the value you want to change is today's high hourly rain figure, it is best to wait until the current figure has returned to a sensible value. There is no easy way to correct the current figure, so if you change it in today.ini while the current figure is incorrect, the high value in today.ini will immediately be changed again when you start Cumulus.
