===  (Invented rain and) Other rain figures ===
Note that other rain figures, such as 'rain last hour' and 'rain last 24 hours' depend on a sensible progression of the rain counter, so it's not easy to correct this; it's easier to wait until the erroneous figure is far enough in the past so as not to affect the calculation. If you really do want to try to correct it; you would need to stop Cumulus, then find and edit multiple field 11 (assuming date is field 0) the 'total rain counter' values in the [[monthly_log_files]] in the current monthly log file so they are correct relative to the current value of the rain counter (i.e. the latest one logged).
