== What is monthlyalltime.ini file? ==
The file monthlyalltime.ini was introduced in version 1.9.3 to support the Monthly Records feature that was added. For more information on this file see in the Cumulus help file, in the section “Data log file format”.
Put simply, it is just like the [[alltime.ini]] log file but each section in that is repeated 12 times in "monthlyalltime.ini" file as it contains the extremes recorded in all January periods, all February periods etc. The new feature in Cumulus allows you to compare the current month with the same month in earlier years and pick out which year had highest and lowest. The alltime.ini log file was heavily influenced by the seasonality of our weather, you might expect highest temperatures to be seen in a summer and lowest in a winter. The monthlyaltime.ini log file takes away that seasonality by limiting comparisons to a month by month basis.
