Zero values in lowest minimum and pressure for year

[RayProudfoot]

Hi Steve,

I'm a little concerned that in the weather extremes for May 2009 (when Cumulus was installed) and for 2009 when viewing Yearly data the values for lowest minimum and pressure are zero.

Clearly these are not correct. I'm not too bothered about May 2009 but I am with 2009. Is it possible to edit the relevant data files to correct these values?

It's probably a problem in dayfile.txt, if you edit that with Cumulus stopped you should be able to spot it quite quickly (the format of the file is in the help). You'll probably also need to edit your all-time records (from the edit menu).

Hi Steve,

Editing the first entry in dayfile.txt resolved the problem both for May 2009 and 2009 generally.

It's a small point but one you may want to address. On the first day Cumulus starts it doesn't store the lowest temperature or lowest pressure - hence the problem.

Thanks!

I was going to suggest that it may well be from when you first ran Cumulus; I'd got the feeling that the first entry is sometimes invalid. I'll have a look to see if I can work out where those zero values come from.

Ray, I've found the bug that causes this, it'll be fixed in the next version. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for letting me know Steve.
