Recorded 3.8C when it's 24c. How do I fix that?

I've got a problem, I hope someone knows a fix. No biggy, just like posting.
as you can see there is a dip in the averages graph for the minimum temp. I had a new record alarm, and was like "What happened here....(read as WTF)" as the temp didn't get below 23.7.
I've changed the all time records and the and another .ini file (forget which now), but it is still showing. I haven't bothered restarting Cumulus yet. Is that all I have to do? I'm guessing it's something else, which is why I haven't. :lol:

The daily min and max temps are in dayfile.txt, so that's what you need to correct. The 'EWTempDiff' setting in cumulus.ini (or via the 'calibration' screen in 1.9.1) might help to stop it happening again, assuming it's a typical Fine Offset 'spike'.

You do need to restart Cumulus to get any changes to be reflected in the graphs. Better still, have Cumulus stopped while you're editing files, to avoid any possible problems.

Restarted. Fixed. Thanks Steve. (PS, didn't stop Cumulus when I had changed the dayfile.txt the other day, will do next time just in case.)
