Yes, but you'll need to edit the data logs, in particular dayfile.txt, which holds the daily totals. The monthly and yearly totals are calculated from the individual daily totals.Gerry wrote:Can I reset the rain data in Cumulus to zero?

Thank you Mark, I know, I should have read the manual myself!
Steve, thanks I'll have a go at editing that file when I get home from work.

Re: false rain readings help needed
I have looked at the file: dayfile.txt and i've decided to leave it alone 
It's not important and will soon be insignificant once I get some "Real" weather to record.

It's not too hard - really!I have looked at the file: dayfile.txt and i've decided to leave it alone![]()
Cumulus 1.9.2 has a built-in editor, so you can see which column you should be changing, and David's Toolbox provides a similar facility.
