Cumulus Support

Is there a way of correcting the annual rain total, for some reason mine has increased itself by 20mm, if so where and how do I correct it.

Many thanks

Many thanks Steve, will have a go.

I cannot see anything that resembles my annual rain total, it should be 143mm

That appears to be part of alltime.ini. The annual rainfall for the current year isn't in there - why did you think it would be? The FAQ tells you how the annual rainfall is calculated, and how to change it. If your annual total is wrong, then you need to change one or more of your daily totals in dayfile.txt, as it says in the FAQ.

Why do you think the annual total in Cumulus is wrong? Because it doesn't agree with the console? From the figures you've posted from alltime.ini, it's clear that you have issues with the rain readings from the station. Cumulus tries to make sense of the garbage that it's sometimes given; it's inevitable that in doing so it will vary on occasion from the totals calculated by the console itself, when all it has to go on are "Chinese whispers". If you believe the figure from the console and not the one from Cumulus, then you will need to modify the daily totals in Cumulus to your liking. You will need to look at all of them for this year, and change the ones you don't agree with for whatever reason. You haven't had a daily total which could increase the annual total by the amount that you're claiming, since 3rd February, according to your daily rain graph on your web site.

I've moved this thread; please don't post Cumulus queries in the section where it explicitly asks you not post Cumulus queries. I don't read all of the posts in that section, so it's pot luck whether you get a reply.

Sorry about posting in the wrong section
