Steve,

Build 1006. Just a point about the Highest Min and Lowest Max tags for This Month. Do they only get updated after midnight on the first day of the month?

I see all the other values for This Month have been updated throughout the day with the exception of these two.

Yes; you can't have a highest minimum or lowest maximum until you've had at least one minimum or maximum, and you can't know what those are until the end of the day.

I suppose in theory you could use the day's min/max and change them when necessary but it's no big thing. More of a check because of it being a beta build.

Yes, it could do that. But it would have to make a special case for the first day of the month to do it, because you know that the first day is going to end up holding the record, whatever the values ended up being.

But it wouldn't make sense to do that (keep updating during the day) on subsequent days; you might get the case where a new day temporarily held the record, and then it reverted to a previous day, which just seems wrong to me.

Steve,

You make a convincing argument for not showing the two values until day 2. Not a problem for me. Happy to put this one to bed.

As I said it was more of an enquiry than a bug report.
