Longest Dry Period

Where does CMX get the start date for this calulation?
If it gets it from the console via the API, is there any way to change the date it is fetching?
I am about to break my dry period record, but CMX is currently using a date when I had an accidental bucket tip. If not, I guess my only recourse is to track it manually and edit the records after the fact.
Thanks

You can stop Cumulus, edit the /data/today.ini file, find the ConsecutiveDryDays= value, and set it the dry day count up to yesterday, then restart Cumulus.
You should really edit the dayfile to remove the "tip" there as well. Do that using the dayfile editor when Cumulus is running.

Mark forgot to mention, there is a way to prevent reoccurrence; you can stop another odd tip wrecking the dry day count, by a MX setting.
I know that the following entry in "Cumulus.ini" still exists for MX releases after 3.10.1
Mine is set to 0.5mm as I assume an amount less than that does not indicate a wet day.
However, I have not been able to find out where you can adjust it on the settings pages since Mark did a revamp of these screens.
This is partly why, I need help with completing documentation on
https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Cumulus.ini as my aim is that page will document where each setting is adjusted.

Thanks.
I was double dippy on this...first, I had set the last tip as Mark said and didn't even notice that wet and dry days are the next two lines
I also usually disconnect the rain lead from the ISS before maintenance but forgot this time until I bumped the bucket lol

Already added to the GUI for the next release, along with a few other missing settings. Getting there slowly
