How does Cumulus decide "Recent Extremes?"

In looking at the Recent Extremes, I see Today's 'High Wind' is 9mph @ 1045 while yesterday's 'High Wind' is listed as 5mph @ 0801 .

As it is circa 0655 at the moment, I am having troubles trying to decide where the boundaries for 'Today' and 'yesterday' are drawn.

Cumulus uses either midnight or 9:00am as the boundary - you would have configured this when you originally set up Cumulus. You would have also configured whether DST changes would affect the boundary or not. The settings are found on your station configuration dialog.

As you have 09:00 as the time for the high rain rate, and it hasn't rained, then you've clearly configured 09:00 as the start and end of the day.

yes, that's correct, 0900 to roll-over. My NOAA co-opr obs log rolls at 0600 . So I choose something near, thus 0900
